Emphasis added to excerpts by QI: 1938, My Husband, Gabrilowitsch by Clara Clemens, Quote, Harper & Brothers, New York. Clara Clemens included an excerpt from a letter written by Gabrilowitsch who believed that local musicians in Detroit were not being evaluated and hired in an equitable manner by the Symphony Society. He died in 1936, and she published a biographical work titled “My Husband, Gabrilowitsch” in 1938. In 1909 Twain’s daughter Clara Clemens married Gabrilowitsch, a concert pianist who became the director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Instead, Twain’s son-in-law, a prominent musician named Ossip Gabrilowitsch, probably crafted the quotation. Quote Investigator: The ascription of this conspiracy quotation to Mark Twain is incorrect. Are you familiar with this quotation? Is the attribution to Twain accurate? The definition notes that the conspiring participants “dare not admit in public” the secret agreement. Mark Twain? Ossip Gabrilowitsch? Clara Clemens? Apocryphal?ĭear Quote Investigator: I’m conducting a research check on a television script containing a definition for the term “conspiracy” credited to Mark Twain.
