  12. While we're on the subject of famous conductors' carping, by favorite
  13. Toscanini story is between him and Resphigi.  The two hated each other
  14. pretty fiercely, but Toscanini would often conduct Resphigi's works.
  15. One day they were together and Toscanini asked Resphigi:
  16.  
  17. "Have you heard my conduct your "Pines of Rome?""
  18.  
  19. "No, I haven't."
  20.  
  21. "You should," Tocanini mused.  "You wouldn't recognize it."
