The stories make me very glad that the world.....in large measure......has grown to the point that uncontrolled temper is looked upon by many as the weakness that it is. I like temperament. I despise many of the Toscanini stories.

I spent sometime today imagining how I would react if a conductor disrespected me in front of an entire cast in this manner. Violence was all I could come up with. Please don't judge me 😂
