To quote Stravinsky regarding Strauss: "I watched him at rehearsals [of Josephslegende] and I admired the way he conducted. His manner with the orchestra was not admirable, however, and the musicians heartily detested him; but every corrective remark he made was exact: his ears and his musicianship were impregnable."

I had no idea that Stravinsky witnessed anything having to do with Josephslegende. Thank you for this.
