REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 



^arcijfe et Les Graces, a grand Anacreontic 

 Ballet, by Signior Rojji, as performed at the 

 King's Theatre, Hay-market. Compojed and 

 arranged for the Piano-forte er Harp, by 

 H. R. Bifhop. %s. 



MUCH vaiicd tafte and fwcetnefs of 

 fancy form the principal features 

 of this publication. Many pailaj^es as 

 beautiful as original have llruck us ia the 

 nerufal, and excited our admiration of 

 the vcrfutile talents of the conipofer. 

 The ftyle of the feveral movements is, in 

 point of difficulty of execution, fo mode- 

 rate, that we can recommend their prac- 

 tice to alnioft every ftage of performers ; 

 and may confidently lay that they arc 

 calculated to delight all tafteful hearers. 



if Captif, pour le Piano-firte. Compofe et dedic 

 a Madamoijelle M, H- par Lous Fan Efcb, 

 ai, iid. 



The Captive is a production of much 

 gcniu^ and fcience. The modulation is 

 artificial and uncommon, and the ideas 

 in general difplay a fertile and well-cul- 

 tivated fancy. The nature of the fubjeft 

 precluded the admiirion of thofe brilliant 

 pallages fo frequently found in the piano- 

 forte productions of ,Mr. \'on Efch ; yet 

 the whole exhibits a ferics of ftrikini; 

 thoughts, and carries with it an elfett 

 important and interelliiig. 



The Celebrated Air " Nancy ivi/t thou gang 

 ivilb me," ivith Variations for the Piano- 

 forte, by Thomai Carter, hs. 



Mr. Carter, the conipofer of this origi- 

 nal, plealing and popular air, has re- 

 conmiended it to the notice of ail talteful 

 piano-forte performers, by the eight ex- 

 cellent variations which he has now ad- 

 tied to it. The jialVnges are in feveral 

 iiiftances too trying for the hands of 

 young practitioners ; but are ingenioully 

 conceived, and will be found greatly im- 

 proving lo thofe who aim at the higher 

 jjowers of execution. 



<' When the bufyToil of Day is done , "a favourite 

 Bullad, compofed by Mr. 'J. Tcrrail." ir. 



We are mucli plcafed with the artlefs 

 ftyle of this ballad. 'l"he general call of 

 th<! melody is moft hap|)ily cluuattoriftic; 

 yet wo' cannot imt cuter our prolell 

 aizainll the introduction of the accidental 

 llat, at the w<jrds " iMy bounding heart 

 beats merrily,'' and wilh wc could rciiard 

 \t jvs an aai£/t7j/«/lapl'y of t|(C judgutcut. 



Ttvelve favourite Airs, ctmpofed and arranged at 

 Duetts, for Tio Flutes and Three Trios. Ire 

 a familiar Style for Three Flutes, byy.Sander-. 

 fon. 75. 6d. 



The ability with which Mr. Sanderfoa 

 has conftructed thefc duetts and trios, 

 greatly merits our commendation. The 

 melodies are conceived with much tafte 

 and fprightlinefs, and the combinations 

 are fcientific and ingenious. We have 

 net heard them, but may fafely vouch for 

 their good aiYctt in experienced hands. 



The favourite Airs from the Ballet of La Dais- 

 fomanie, performed at the King's Theatre, 

 Hay-market, arranged for the Piano-forte, 

 •with additional Movements. Compofed by T, 

 Latour. is. 



Piano-forte performers will find in the 

 mulic (jf this Ballet a variety of pleating 

 and improving movements. Indeed w© 

 feldom have found in the fame number 

 of paMs, fo much novel and interetiing 

 matter ; palfagcs fo perfectly dramatic, 

 and yet fo well calculated to plcafe ia 

 the chamber. 



Petite Fantaifie et la Contrariame, four le 

 Piano-forte, Dediees a Lady Emily Percy, far 

 Louis Von Efcb, 2i. 



The genius and fcience of Mr. Von 

 Efch arc very confpicuous in tiie prefent 

 compofition. A clearnefs of conception 

 and facility of cxprelTion characterize 

 the two movements of wliich it confirts, 

 and obvioully point out the compofer. 

 We fliould fcarcely do our duty not to 

 recommend " La Petite Fantaifie," to 

 the ciirncll notice of piano-forte prac- 

 titioners. 



The celebrated Air, « No, 'twas neither Shape 

 nor Feature," arranged as a Glee for Three 

 Voices, luith an Accompaniment for the Harp 

 or Piano-fortc, by J. Maazinghi, Efj. Is. 6d. 



Mr. Mazzinghi has harmonized thus 

 charming air with confidcrablc abilily 

 and judgment. The compolition,,as here 

 given, aflumes quite a new character and 

 ei}'ed, and cannot be lieard without de- 

 light by the lovers of fine melody com- 

 bined with found and well-regulated har- 

 mony. 



" The Lafs O'Arrantecnie," « Scottif} Ballad, 

 ivritieii by Mr. Robert Tannabill. The Muflc 

 coxipofcd'Ly Mr. Rofs, of Aberdeen. Is. 

 " The Lafs, O'Arranteenie," is a bal- 

 lad of much merit. The melody is Am- 

 ple, purely Scotcii, and well qnalillcd to 

 cxprclb tlic fentimeat of the poetry.
