They say the French Horn is called the "instrument of God"... because whenever they play a note, only God knows what's going to come out.

"Never take it personal while being part of an orchestra"
Minutes later:
"You, you, you, you!!!"

Not gonna lie, I got all hyped up when the conductor started making war cries.

[philipmay]

My favorite Toscanini quote, insulting an orchestra - “After I die, I shall return to earth as a gatekeeper of a bordello and I won't let any of you enter.”

[konayasai]

“You conduct, you lose” is the electricians' motto.

[emilianopapagna]

The privilege of being Italian just to fully understand Toscanini roasting his orchestra.

My mum is a therapist and she had a client who is a musician that needed therapy because their conductor screamed at them in a concert because they stuffed up.

[kurachan]

I started crying when Toscanini said "you are not a musician" and I don't even play an instrument. It felt like their whole existence was being invalidated and that was simply painful...

I played cello for several years. In high school, I was adjusting my end-pin when I accidentally hit my conductors hand. As a result, the baton (which was pointed at his other hand) was impaled in the palm of his other hand. Several years later (maybe 20 years?), I met a young violinist from my prior high school. During discussion, the history was revealed, to which she excitedly exclaimed, “You’re the cellist who stabbed Mr. Pohran!” Apparently, I became part of his teaching folklore. Got to love conductors! :)

Confirmed with my former teacher he is okay with sharing his name. :)

Eddy: " No laugh
No flinch
No cringe"
Eddy 5 seconds later: *WHEEZE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHAHSSHSHA*

“You have no ears!!!”

Beethoven: What? I can’t hear you.

(The joke isn’t even that funny why so many likes)

[amberjette]

Musicians: shocked when conductor/teacher/director yells at them.
Dancers: first time?

[ceriseeee]

The pain in Brett and Eddy’s faces when the conductor was yelling has the same vibe when Asian mom is about to not feed you rice because you haven’t practice. Go. Practice.

Toscanini is like the Gordon Ramsey of music

[DellaStreet]

Toscanini once got a taste of his own medicine when Maurice Ravel chewed him out *while* he was conducting Ravel's Bolero. "I am the composer! I am the composer!"

[minimayhem]

I grew up with a conductor as my adoptive uncle and holy hell was he terrifying. Incredibly sweet guy but never ever under any circumstances get him annoyed. He had a glare that could freeze over hell.

Hi, I'd like to brag that my piano teacher and I bonded over TwoSetViolin


During my piano class, my teacher was talking about how violinists can play Flight of the Bumblebee pretty quickly and even set world records. Hearing this, I said that playing a song on the violin as fast as possible is no longer a category in the Guinness World Records because of the cheating involved, especially with Flight of the Bumblebee.


Then, my teacher said, "I've heard about that. Do you know TwoSetViolin?" AND I YELLED

When I was in a youth orchestra we had a guest conductor come in for a day who was relatively famous in our country. He was an absolute diva and screamed at us within the first 30 seconds for some reason. Us, being kids, just laughed at this grown man throwing a tantrum. He obviously had never had an entire orchestra laugh at him before. He was more composed with his critiques after that.

One of my teachers is getting destroyed by Toscanini in that clip.

I found out something interesting that some may not know: Jose Carreras, that was singing to Leonard Bernstein and got ahead of Bernstein, was doing this while suffering a major illness. Jose Carreras was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia that was discovered due to an oral infection that would not heal. The full video shows him holding his mouth at times. He endured difficult chemo and radiation, bone marrow transplant, and was given a 1 in 10 chance of recovery. I was pleased to find out, however, that he did recover and returned to doing what he obviously loved doing. The pressure he was under with that unhealing infection in his gums, teeth, and jaw bone going on must have been overwhelming. He had to know some bad news of some kind was coming when something like that wouldn't get better.

Keep an eye on your bodies people, if something is hurt, or infected, and won't heal, get checked out head to toe by a doctor that's interested in helping you, and wants to take the time, and thorough steps, of finding out what all is going on.
