wend her ° confident and charming way through a Mozart Concerto (No. 21 in C, K.467) with the National Orchestra in Wellington, it occurred to me that playing Mozart and running a home may require much the same sort of qualities-a certain flair for unostentatious tidiness; precise intentions; a flexible approach to problems; and an enveloping affection. The possession of these desirable qualities, however. does not necessarily imply that either of these assignments will be satisfactorily accomplished, nor indeed that skill at one will lead to success at the other. On the contrary, such a dual: achievement is remafkably rare. Jocelyn Walker, having brought her concerto to a triumphant conclusion, demonstrated that at least it is not impossible. As Mts. Clive Wickens, of Warkworth, Jocelyn Walker has not allowed the relaxing influence of the country to un+ settle her musical standafds, nor the problems of domesticity roughen the edges of musical temperament. Her playing at Wellington had what Mozart needs most-precision, clarity and an intelligent regard for the phrasing. What istmore she made difficult music sound easy. In this she was admirably aided and abetted by Warwick Braithwaite ] | to Jocelyn Walker
and the 6rchestra,
