14In 1916 he resigned his position in Italy because the audience remon strated against Wagner. He was succeeded by Molinari. In 1931 he was attacked by Fascisti in Bologna and physically injured. On April 1, 1933, his signature headed a protest to Hitler in behalf of the persecuted musicians. In June he declined to conduct in Bayreuth because of the “lamentable events which have wounded my feelings both as man and artist.”
15Musical Courier, December 25, 1934.
16As is, of course, known, Toscanini returned to the United States in 1937 in response to an invitation of NBC, which organized an orchestra expressly for broadcasting purposes. There was some apprehension that his broadcasts would interfere with the Philharmonic series. In deference to that fear, the NBC concerts were scheduled at first for Saturday nights, until distant cities with Saturday night subscription concerts protested.

66The propriety of dating the founding of the symphony orchestra to the date of the founding of the St. Louis Choral Society (1880) is questionable. The orchestral repertoire in the present study dates to 1907, which some of the early programs after 1907 refer to as the “new series.”
