Yes, I know. I was referring the famous story that Heifetz before the recording insisted that he name will be printed first, before the pianist and cellist. The problem is that that in all trios the name of pianist printed first. Reportedly Gregor Piatigorsky retorted the Heifetz demands with brilliant comeback: “Jascha, even if God would play violin instead of you then on the record it shall be said: Trio of Rubinstein, God, Piatigorsky”
