“The first time I had the opporruluty of meeting Sir Thomas Beecham," c.B. Rees recalled, "I asked him whether, in view of his usual habit of conducting both operas and symphonies without a score, it would be an embarrassment to him to be compelled to use one. His head moved slowly from side to side, his eyes veered powerfully towards me like searchlights, and stopped. Rolling his tongue gently from one side of his mouth to the other, and pulling gently at his beard, he said, after what seemed a long time, 'My dear fellow - I find all music an embarrassment.'" Leisurely he rose from his chair, moved it back a couple of inches, walked unhurriedly across the room, mixed a whisky and soda, and was immediately engaged by another member of the party. I hoped that that one didn't ask him about scores.”
