Casals incident

edit

I'm wondering whether the incident involving Casals is noteworthy enough to include in this article. Casals was supposed to perform the Dvořák Cello Concerto under Pierné's baton. While planning the performance together, Pierné disparaged the work as "de la cochonnerie." Casals refused to perform. He was sued for breach of contract and forced to pay a heavy fine. Debussy was also involved in the incident. (I'm asking a similar question at the talk page for the article on Casals.) Ishboyfay (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
