 lours, which are in perfeil harmony, as 

 the pifture i« in pciftfl prcfervat'.on. To 

 adopt the phrafeology of another fcience, 

 it is a bravura piiiure, and, on the whole, 

 a production, that if the artifl had never 

 pinted any other, would have immortal- 

 ized his name. 



Mr. Bone is employed enamelling Cy-

REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 



The Reconciliation ; written by Mr. E. Button ; 

 the M-ufic by Augufiui Vo'j^ht. 5;. 



THIS production comprehends a iiory 

 defign^.d -i* a vehicle for the exprcf- 

 fion, by analogous mrloiiics, of the v-irious 

 traniiiions and emoiions ot the mint,. — 

 Two airs, the vne hvelv and theoiher 

 plain time, are fncidentilly introduced, 

 and the whole concludes with a glre fr 

 three voices. The ftory, which is by no 

 means uninterefting, is prefixed to the 

 puUication, and prepares the auditor for 

 the opening-fcene, where Emma is fup- 

 pofed 10 he feared in a temple ere'* id to 

 Plora in the centre other father's gaiden, 

 and tinging the air with which the coinpj- 

 fition Commences. V^iious fituations 

 then enliie between Emma and her lover, 

 in which the powers of the compofer are 

 exerted 10 expiel's the fcveral feelings of 

 the parlies and excite the tyinpathy of the 

 hearer. Mr. Voight has, in the courfe of 

 the piec-, difplaycd much knowledge of 

 his (ubje6^, and confiderable command of 

 fancy, as we'l as judgment in coinbina. 

 tion j and it is no compliment to ky 

 that he has adilcd coi.iiuerible interelt to 

 the tale upon which he iiad to comment, 

 and that he has rendered (he whole highly 

 attri<^tive and engaging. 

 Whittha-ven Hunt, a Sonata for the Piano-forte, 

 dedicated to the Stewards and Ge'itUmen of the 

 A'leeting, by (■yii/iam Huiugill. 7.S. 



Th s imitation of a chace, cimroencing 

 wiih the falutation, and eiid'ng- with the

 fpirittd and cheartul. The wlv le, we 

 itiiilt in juliice fay, tornu an atti.tiitivc and

IngleiuDod Hunt, a Sonata for the Piano-forte^ 

 injcribed to Mrs. Curioen, by IVtiliam Hotv- 

 giU. 21. dd. 



The general defcripfion of this fonata 

 would rot be i.ifTimilar from that of the 

 foregoing article ; we fhall there'ore • nly 

 (av, that its mt r t, taken in the ayg' egri e, 

 is no way inferior ; and that Mr. Howj ill's 

 qualification f r prod, dtions of this kind 

 is icnHeied Very confpicuous by his pre- 

 lenr efforts. 



A favourite j^ir, arranged as a Rondo for th§ 

 Pianofotte, by T. Powell, is 6d. 



Young pianofotte ftudf-nis will derive 

 much irairovcinent from the praftice of 

 this little prcduttion. The naffages are 

 well ditpofed tor the hand, and the execu- 

 ticii is of a call 10 introduce the finger to 

 new difticu ties witli"Uf painful efforts. — . 

 We hive w'itneflcd lo much advantage 

 from the praftice of compofitions fimilar 

 to the prelent, that we cannot but be par- 

 tial 10 tiiern, and wifh their authors every 

 encouragement.
