FANY parents, make a mag- nificent job of bringing up their babies. Their little onca are everything that the model baby should be, firm of limb, bright of eye, taking their feeds well and sleeping the clock round.
Then suddenly they appear to come to autop. The talitler becomiCA fussy about his food, loses his good habits and is tiresome in his behaviour. I is at ils stage that the despair- ing mother often feels that hera is n problem child," different from most others, and that the job of bringing: him up satisfactorily is almost beyond her power.

I advise you to take a special and sympathetic interest in this boy. Start lim out on some hobby at his own and see that he has the necessary equip- ment.

On Your Gramophone
E
LISZT tops the LIST
IN July it will be fifty years
since Liszt died.
The musical world, being more conscientious than any other section of the community in the celebration of anniversaries, will probably do more than right by the Abba-especially the radio and the gramophone companies.
The only ironic things about these celebrations of birth and denth days is that too often the unfortunate com- poser is forgotten until the next anul versary, comes around. I wouldn't say that happened in the case of the Beethoven and Schubert centeueries. but the gramophone companies como out with a vast raumber of centenary recurding of works that should have been in the lists already.
TEEL much the same about the sudden notice being taken of Liszt this month.
If Liszt is not popular in the concert -hall that is the concert audience's lors, The gramophone public, however, is o subite nil on its own; it knows no trudi- lone, it has only a few mobberies and prejudices, and those snobberies and prejudices are fostered, not by musie critics, but by writers in the highbrow gramophone journals.
as a rule the majority of record- buyers get their.records because they Hike what they hear at a first hearing, not because they have necessarily. -heard that particular plece of music in concert hall. Indeed, let it be said to its eternal credit, the gramophone Industry very often influences the con- cert hall, inætend of vloe versa.
Gradukily, the industry is coming to realso this, and is specializing more and more in supplementing instead of echoing the standard repertory.

THE current Columbia list is the first In the fold with Liszt Comunemo- ration recordings. As yet the works chosen are familiar enough, but the fact that they have been recorded at all is'n reassuring sign that Liszt is no. longer regarded entirely as rather 'bad form "--the fate of all composers whose music, happens to be brilliant and demands, ahlgjë standard of vir tuosity in Its performance.

Almost as familiar, but recorded in its proper form, is the big Hungarian

OF Liszta, twelve symphonic poems only one can ho called really well- known, "Les Préludes." Since this hina been so well recorded by Meyrowitz and the Paris Philharmonie I hope Columbia wil, be encouraged to record the other eleven, one or two of which are familiar to those who stay after the interval at Promenade concerts.

The greatest of all the Columbin Liszt recordings this month is Egon Fetri's playing of "Mazeppi (LX403), which for the enormous power of the playing, the force of the music, and the superb recording of the piano, must be pretty nearly the greatest plano record ever.
