The Duke of IVellingtnii's Waltz, an ad- 

 mired Candean Air, wTunged as a Rond0 

 for ilie Piano-forte. 2s. 



This little rondo is pleasing in its 

 subject, and conducted with a respect- 

 able degree of skill. Though obviously 

 intended as a trifle, it possesses passages 

 that would not disgrace a more dignified 

 attempt; and, if we may indulge tlie 

 expression, deserves to be called one of 

 tiie great among the little. 



The celebrated Poem, " Fare Thee Welt f" 

 Written by Lord Byron, and composed by 

 Jahn IVhilaker, Is. 6d. 



The mnsio of this little ballad (for 

 into a ballad the composer has judici- 

 ously divided this lyrical series of thirty 

 couples) is conceived with feeling and 

 j)athos. The melody is smooth, easy, 

 and pleasing; and the general plain- 



knowledgcd by all admirers of tha't de- tiyeness, so proper to the subject, is bap- 



lighlful specie; of social music— G ices, 

 to bo the most eom|)endions, and, at the 

 same time, most select miscellany that 

 lias ever appeared. 



It aj>pe:ns to have been the object of 

 l!ic editor to introduce pieces in every 

 varied style of this species of composi- 

 tion— the best of their kind, both an- 

 cient and modern. The several parts . . 

 arc compressed into two lines, foi- the ^^ repeatedly performed at the Oratorios, 



pily relieved by the less sombre cast of 

 the introductory and concluding sym- 

 phonies.
