One of the richest people in Europe of the 18th century, the patron of the arts, the owner of one of the best orchestras (chapelmaster - Joseph Haydn himself (1732-1809)), Prince Nicholas Estergazi "The Great" (1714-1790) considered himself not only an amateur, but also a professional in music. From time to time, he himself stood behind the conductor's control and demonstrated his skill to numerous guests of his luxurious castle - the Hungarian Versailles. One day he came to the rehearsal something annoyed and began to struggle with the musicians. After another comment, the first violin stood up and, politely worshiped, said:
- Your brightness, if you insist, we will play the way you direct.
