Music

Haggin, B. H. | June 24, 1950 issue

add to cart close window

When musician Arturo Toscanini was conductor of the New York Philharmonic he worked with a permanent, stable group of players whose only professional activity was playing together as a symphony orchestra, and who--whatever laxity they permitted themselves with other conductors-maintained in their four or five rehearsals and three or four concerts each week with Toscanini the discipline, cohesiveness, and sensitiveness to his direction which they had acquired in their years of work with him. That made the work easier for him; but it also made him impatient: at the time he left the Philharmonic.
