This is undoubtedly true, especially for that era. Many of his former
students (including players of other wind instruments) say that after
Tabuteau, no conductor could ever shake them. Somehow I doubt if he was
actively thinking this at the time he was teaching, however. He was a mean
guy.

<<As regards Tabiteau's toughness, Perry said, that he asked his teacher
many years later, why he was so tough with pupils?
His answer was: "If the pupils could play for and put up with me, they
would be able to play for and withstand any conductor!">>
