CHANGE OF CAREER
MUSIC TO MEDICINE
ADELAIDE BOY GENIUS
(Received August 1, 10 a.m.)
ADELAIDE, This Day.
Hailed by critics as a genius, the Adelaide boy pianist, Philip Hargrave, who gave concerts in Australia and New Zealand, has decided to give up his musical career and to study medicine at Adelaide University.
His guardian, Miss H. Garnaut, although extremely disappointed, is not interfering with the boy's decision.
The young pianist Philip Hargrave visited New Zealand in 1934 and gave several recitals in Wellington in November of that year. His age was then given at 12 years, and he played works figuring in the repertoires of the greatest living pianists. Miss Henriette Garnaut, his teacher, recognised his talent when he was only five years old, and when he was seven he played the "Moonlight" Sonata from memory.
