IIRC - and that's increasingly not always the case - Toscanini was
rehearsing the Schubert Unfinished without a score in Vienna and chided a
player for a wrong note. The player insisted he'd played what was written,
AT said the score was wrong. Someone realised the original was in the very
building in which they were rehearsing, it was checked and AT was found to
be right.
If this is apocryphal, inaccurate or both, I'm sure someone will put me
right.
