True story - Gould was scheduled for a concert in Cleveland with Szell and Gould's piano stool was damaged in transit. At the first rehearsal Gould was incessantly adjusting his broken stool up and down to get it just right while Szell and the orch waited. Szell grew increasingly impatient and finally said: "Mr Gould, maybe if we shaved a 16th of an inch off your ass we could begin?" (or words to that effect).
