However, during the general rehearsal on sunday morning, Mahler and Weiss quarreled on tempi markings and the latter left the rehearsal and cancelled the concert. The same afternoon Yolanda Mero (1887-1963) was engaged, but the following morning she fell ill, and only at noon did Paolo Gallico (1868-1955) agree to replace her, although he was not given a rehearsal
