Stokowski’s ability to inspire musicians was sometimes balanced by the ability to turn them off.\u00a0 Saidenberg altered me to a remarkable violinist who quit the Philadelphia Orchestra and went on to become America’s greatest authority on constitutional law.\u00a0 “Raoul Berger was a wonderful violinist in the Philadelphia Orchestra.\u00a0 One day at rehearsal, Stoki stopped the orchestra and pointed to him, shouting, ‘You, what’s your name?’ The reply came in a small voice, ‘Berger – Raoul Berger, sir.’\u00a0 ‘Well, play in tune’ said Stoki. The next day in precisely the same spot the same incident took place.\u00a0 The third day in precisely the same place the incident was repeated.\u00a0 Berger couldn’t stand it any longer and, turning on Stoki, said, ‘On Monday you asked me my name.\u00a0 On Tuesday you asked me my name.\u00a0 Now it is Wednesday, and you’re still asking my name.\u00a0 What’s wrong with memory?\u00a0 Haven’t you learned it yet?’ Stoki fired him.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
