Famous Myths about Memory - Arturo Toscanini

Arturo Toscanini was one of the most famous orchestra conductors. This man had poor vision, but a terrific musical memory. Instead of following along with the score as he conducted, he memorized the entire score for each concert! He knew every note played by every instrument for 250 symphonies adn 100 operas! There is a legend that a man in Toscanini’s orchestra who played second bassoon came to his conductor and said that he could not play the lowest F-sharp because of a broken key. But after a brief pause, Mistro Toscanini replied that it would not be a problem; that note would not be needed for the concert that night!
