Tschaikowsky' symphony No. 2
in C Minor" known as the Little
Russian symphony. has just come
to this desk, Victor companion to
the Third Symphony" released a
few months ago. The addition of
these two works to the favorite
symphonies is a valuable one for a
broadening of knowledge of the
composers creative ability. In the
Second Symphony" the familiar
Tschaikowsky is not revealed until
the final movement, where the folk
melodies and his interesting treat
ment of them could also account for
the added name, Little Russian"
The remainder of the symphony
has many tuneful moments and
some fine writing. but on the whole
the personal touch of a suffering
Tschaikowsky is missing, and only
the skillful composer utilizing the
same native melodies over and over
again for the play of his fancy is
to be observed. The Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra. directed by
Eugene Goossens, gives it a vital
and understanding reading.

That classic composers need not
be regarded with staid and Sc
rious mind has been disproved long
ago. If there remains any doubt
of the enjoyability of the music OF
these composers for others besides
the erudite, Victor can Danish 1t
with the release this month of two
charming works. From the Bach
collection comes the Concerto No.
5 in F Minor" played by Edwin
Fischer, pianist. and his Chamber
Orchestra, and from the several vlo-
lin sonatas by Mozart, Yehudi
Menuhin and his sister Hephzlbah
have chosen that in F major, No. "a,
K 376.
The controversy regarding the
Bach piano concertos has gone on
for years with different theories
espoused by the musicologists. That
most of them are his transcriptions
of violin concertos, his own or those
of other composers, is definitely

composer preferred to rewrite rather
than create is not thoroughly un-
derstood. The concerto recorded by
Mr.. Fischer is supposedly one by
Vivaldi which Bach arranged for
the series of concerts by Teleman's
Musical Society, of which he was
director.
Quite apart from its historical
significance and its origin, the con-
certo is one that should appeal to
all pianists with a gift for delicate
exposition and to the public, which
likes melodic and appealing music.
Mr.. Fischer is such a pianist and
his recording is fine one, especially
the mood which he has found for
the lovely second movement. The
concerto is short, yet presenting suf-
ficient difficulties for the interpreter
to be a master musician.
In the recording by the Menuhin
brother and sister, opportunity is
given in the choice of the present
sonata to judge of the ability OF
Hephzibah as pianist. The music,
as in most of that of Mozart's pc
riod, gives more prominence to the
piano, with the violin assuming
something Of an obligato role.

The guest artist on this occasion

famed for the troubadours it has
Graded. MeXicans say that every
inhabitant Of the province is born

In boyhood. Arvizu became a mern-

Queretaro. He later entered the
National Conservatory of Music Of
Mexico and made his debut at the
Esperanza Iris Theater in Mexico
City, singing La Somnambula"
of Bellini, The Barber of Seville
and other roles of light character.
When Arvizu ventured into the
realm of popular songs. the response
was so gra atifying that he determined
to dedicate himself entirely to music
every one understood and appre-
ciated. His tours through Cuba,
Chile. Peru, Argentina. Uruguay,
Brazil and other countries of Latin
America endeared him to all Latin
America. Further acclaim came
through the medium of his recorded
songs and he has also appeared in
several motion pictures. Guitar ac-

reputation as an interpreter OF the

 Billy Scose is the young hero. He was born in Farrell, Pa, some g years ago and became pretty fair rcugh-and- tumble fighter before he -ntered Pennsylvania State College ond learned some of the finer points of fisticuffing under Leo Houck. He did attach himself to Hollywood screen writer and press agent, Paul Moss. But he didn't win the worlds middleweight championship = not quite.
 He didn't because there are such
