Military Bjnd by Kramer aniCorri', and fer. 



formed hy the Band of b:s Royal ili^Lnys ike 



Duke of Ktnt. 51. . 



MelTrs. Kramer and Corri are entitled 

 to much credit by the ability tlwy have 

 flifplaycd in adajjtini; tliefe marches for 

 a military hand. The cffcrt evinces their 

 thorough acquaintance vvitJi tiie various 

 initruuients they have employed. We 

 arc i^Iad to underftand that the Prince of 

 Wales will lend his name to the next edi- 

 tion, and that Mr. Kramer is encourai!;ed 

 hy the favourable reception of the prcfcut 

 publication to arrange i'ome rondos 

 from the fame ballet. 



Rondo for the Piano-forte, introduced in the 



German Comedij of the Three Suitors ; conipojcd 



by Mr. Holft. is. 6d. 



This rondo is remarkably pretty in its 



fubjctt, and the digrcinve palVages are 



a!j;reeal>!e and confiftcnt. 'I'lic liyle of 



the whole is fb perfe6tly familiar, that we 



could not oafdy recommend an cxercifc 



more eligible for the practice of thcjuvc- 



nile performer. 



T'welve Ductinos for Tiuo Flutes ; cotnfojed by 

 T. Hale. is. 



The fimplc and familial- llylc of thefe 



I'ttle pieces will not fail to recommend 

 them to young praititioners on the flute. 

 The melodies are in general of an attrac- 

 tive calt, and the two i)arts blend with 

 good effect. 



Tbt Ir-uifible Girl, a Piece in One AB, perform- 

 ed at the Theatre-Royal, Drury-Lane ; compo- 

 fed by J. Hook, EJq. 5s. 



Mr. Hook in this little piece has thrown 

 together many pleating and playful ideas. 

 The overture is juft what it oueht to be, 

 light, fprightly, and brief. The two airs 

 fung by Mrs. Bland have the double me- 

 rit of being taliel'id in themfelves, and ex- 

 actly adapted to tiie powers and Ityle of 

 the performer for whom they wTcrc writ- 

 ten. 



The Blackbird^ a favourite ne^v Song, "with an 

 Accon.paniment ad libitum fur the mia itnpra- 

 •ved Flageolet ; the Paetry hy Mr. G. Jef. 

 freyjon ; the Mufic comfofed by J. AJdridge,. 

 Jun., of Ne^Mcofile upon-Tyne. n. 



The Blackbird is an agreeable little 

 ballad. The melody is natural and un- . 

 afietted, and the accompaniment is con- 

 rtructed with tafte and ingenuity. 



" hie thee Home, Sandy," a favourite Scotch 

 Song, Jung by Mrs. Bland, at yauxhall Gar- 

 dens i the U^'jrds hy Mr. Upton ; the Mufic 

 compcjedby Mr. T. H'clp. u. f>d. 



Mr. Welfh in this little effort has not 

 only fcrupuloully adhered to the Scotch 

 character, but has had the ingenuity to 

 avoid thofe common-place paffagcs too 

 generally refortcd to in mulic of the Cale- 

 donian (tyle. The air is fimple and affect- 

 ing, and well accords v\ith the fcntimcnt 

 of the poetiy.
