With: the introductory movement to 
this Rondo we cannot profess ourselves 
to be pleased, because we cannot pre- 
tend to understand how the author would 
have us pleased, or feel convinced that 
he himself understands himself; or, to 
spenk in common language, knows 
what he would be at: affected evolu- 
tions of harmony always have this effect 
on our ear. The Rondo itself is plea- 
sing, in its subject, and judicious in its 
digressions, and will not fail to please 
the generality of its hearers.

posed and dedicated to Miss Satis, by Count de 
Pierre de Newbourg. 25. 6d. 
The variations the Count St, Pierre 
has superadded to this popular air, 
though not of the first description of 
excellence, are far above mediocrity, 
and do much credit to his taste and fans 
cy. They evince a thorough knowledge 
of the instrament for which they are 
written; amd are progressive and im 
proving.

sung by Mrs. Liston, at the Theatre-royal 
Covent-garden. Composed and arranged witl 
an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte, by C. Ex 
Horn, 18. 
This ballad is obviously meant as a 
trifle ; and a trifle it is, in every sense of 
the word. Neither the words, the me- 
lody, nor the accompaniment, can boast 
of any feature of excellence, and scarce» 
ly in their own confined limits, reach 
mediocrity.

not only agreeable in its subject, Lut is 
treated throughout with fancy and judg- 
ment, and bespeaks high qualifications 
for this species of composition,
