Wow - that's neat that you worked with Dohnanyi! Sorry to hear he was an ass-hole.
For years, I accompanied a wonderful singer, Emily Rawlins (she's on Ozawa's recording of Electra, singing two different roles), who worked with Dohnanyi on some modern opera (it may have been Reimann's "Lear"). She told me that in the piano rehearsals with Dohnanyi, she would occasionally miss a note (easy to do with a score like this!), and Dohnanyi would continue to conduct but would always exclaim, "Ach! Frau Rawlins!" every time she missed something. She was very amused by the whole experience. ;-)
