Arturo Toscanini was a badass who stood up to Fascists in Italy, and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band is accused of cultural appropriation, but is that accurate?

Arturo Toscanini's temper

At the next rehearsal, which went badly, Toscanini tore into the orchestra, using his armament of Italian invectives. ย A delegation of the orchestra marched to [Met director] Gatti's office. ย He listened to their complaints--"never have we been called such dreadful names"--shrugged his shoulders, and said, "You should hear what he calls me."
--George Marek, Toscanini, 1976

Arturo Toscanini puts things in perspective

I shall always remember a rehearsal on the morning Germany marched into the Sudetenland. ย In the streets, people crowded around radios and newspaper stands, waiting for the latest word. ย The musicians of the NBC Symphony were gathered in the dressing room downstairs, arguing and debating while the air was electric with impending catastrophe. ย As the time for rehearsal drew near, we sluggishly, almost resentfully, began to make our way upstairs. ย How unimportant the rehearsal seemed that morning. ย Armies were poised for combat. ย What was a mere rehearsal at a time like this? ย How impatient and indifferent the men were, anxious to get back into the reality of the world. ย And then the small figure appeared. ย With beetled brows, downcast face, Toscanini stepped up to the podium. ย He looked around at us for a moment, waved his arms briefly; then: ย "Good morning. Beethoven!"

No sooner had the orchestra begun to play than it seemed mesmerized, the outside world, with its tragedy, forgotten. "Play! Don't sleep! ย Is a crescendo! ย Is a sforzando! ย Put something! ย You do nothing! ย You want to sleep! ย Go home! ย Move the bow! ย Arco! Arco!" he screamed. ย We were all caught up in the passion of the moment. ย Beethoven became the battlefield, as important as any in the world. ย Each accent, each crackling crescendo came to life, to full triumphant meaning! ย This was no moth-eaten masterpiece; this was searing human truth and reality. ย Beethoven was God, Toscanini was His prophet, and we were the anointed, reveling in creation and proud of our talent. ย This was our reason for being.

--Samuel Antek, This Was Toscanini, 1963
