cuted with judgment ; the flute is generally 
an accompaniment, but when it takes a 
prominent’ feature, the poimts are well 
divided. 
Introduction and Airs from Tancredi; by 
Dotzauer, arranged for Piano Forte and 
Violoncello. W. I. Crowch, 48, Chap- 
pel and Co. 
This duet is well adapted for the genius 
of the respective instruments ; the airs are 
leasingly selected, but we think it ill- 
judged to make our old friend “ Di tanti” 
constitute so large a feature in the compo- 
sition’; ‘for, however beautiful the air may 
be, it certainly rather palls on the appetite. 
HARP. 
Ombra Adorata Aspetto. Arranged with bril- 
liant Variations and Introduction for the 
Harp. 
These. variations are designated brilliant 
with great justice. The subject is inter- 
woyen with the introduction in a very 
masterly manner; and the repetition of 
the. first strain of the allegro as a codetta 
produces,a, good effect, and forms a com- 
plete link between the different parts of the 
composition: 
“©. Amor Possente Numi.” Arranged as a 
Duet for Harp and Piano Forte. G. 
Holst, 5s. Cocks and’ Co. 
‘A“'subject ‘so ‘beautiful could scarcely 
fail of forming a pleasing duetto. The sub- 
ject is eqtially divided between the perfor- 
mers, and both instruments are of easy exe- 
cution : we think the effect would have 
been much improved ' by filling up the har- 
monies a little more. 
The. Overture to Der Freischutzx, arranged 
as a Duel for Harp and Piano Forte, with 
Flute and Violoncello, ad lib, J. Bur- 
-rowes. Clementi. 6s. 
Mr. B. in order to give a different charac- 
ter to his arrangement, has made the harp 
principal or nearly so ; it looks yery well 
on paper; but we should be happy to 
see: Mr. Burrowes perform the harp part, 
to conyince us that it is possible. The 
flute and violoncello are quite ad lib. 
“Whilst inconstant Fortune smiled.’ Duetto 
in the play of As You Like it. Bishop. 2s. 
Goulding and Co. 
The music adapted to this piece by 
Bishop,’ though principally composed last 
season, has been only introduved to the 
public eye by the press within the last 
month; and may, therefore, properly come 
under our notice. As a whole, it is cer- 
tainly very inferior to that for the Comedy of 
Errors, and other‘of his adapted plays ; and 
we doubt, whether, with the exception of 
fhe duet: just named, and a hunting glee, 
any piece will-live a twelvemonth. The 
first part of the duet is‘sweet and pathetic, 
and there. is much ‘originality in’ the alle- 
gretto, though not sufficiently dramatic in 
the style to be effective on’ the ‘stage.

THEATRICAL ‘REVIEW.’ | 
DRURY LANE. ule eee 
Amon the ‘novelties, produced, at this 
theatre, since our last’ notice, there is little 
that can add to the reputation of the drama, 
or commemorate the taste of the manage- 
ment. Parade and splendour, not genius 
and intellect, seem still to be the objects, in 
requisition ; and the scene-painter and the 
dress-maker have /supetseded the. preten- 
sions of the poet and the actor, and already
