‘REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
——_o— 
Imitations of many of the mest ertinent Profes- 
sors, for the Piano-forte, with an Aceompa- 
niment for the Flute (ad libitum). Composed 
and dedicated to bis Royal Highness the Duke 
of Sussex, by T Latcur, Ev. Pianisie to 
bis Royal Highness the Prince’ of Wales. 
%s. 6d. 
HESE imitations are twenty-six in 
number, and are given in as many 
variations on the favourite gavot in 
Achille et Deidamie. ‘Though the idea has 
not the merit of originality, yet much 
commendation is due to Mr. Latour for 
the general truth with which he has co- 
pied the style of the several masters he 
has had in view ; and performers on the 
Instrument for which they are inten- 
ded will derive much profit from their 
study and practice. 
Eight Rondos for the Piano-forte, with or witb- 
out the additional Keys. Composed and dedi- 
cated to Lady Charlotte Campbell, by T. He 
Butler. 7s. 6d. 
These rondos are composed from eight 
old and popular airs, among which we 
find “ Say little foolish fluttering thing,” 
* Roy’s wife of Aldivalloch,” “ If’tis joy 
to wound a lover,” and “ My aim kind 
dearie.” The tasteful and judicious way 
in which Mr. Butler, has treated the 
subjects he has selected, will, we doubt 
not, give great currency to this pleasing 
little work among young -practitioners, 
In every passage, the convenience of the 
hand appears to have: been consulted, 
and consequently the progress of the 
pupil. 
4 Sonata for the Piano-forte, with Accompani- 
ments for two Violins and a Bass (ad libitum). 
Composed'and dedicated to Miss Mann, by L. 
Von Esch, Esq. 5s. 
This Sonata, though not written in a 
highly florid style, is fancifully concei- 
ved, and abounds in passages far 
above mediocrity. in the points both of 
beauty and spirit. It comprises three 
movements; the first. of which is bold 
and. energetic, the second elegant and 
soothing, and the third (a rondo) lively 
and attractive in its subject, as well as 
striking in its digressive matter. 
Folume II. of select irs and Chorusses, from the 
Oratorios, Gc. Ge. of Handel. Adapted as 
Poluritaries or Pieces for the Organ or Piano- 
forte, by J. Marsh, Esq. 7s. 6d. 
The selection with which Mr. Marsh 
has supplied the second volume of this 
work, which will prove so useful and 
gratifying to orgamists in general, has 
been made with much judgment: and 
the adaptations are s» conducted‘as not 
only to evmce considerable address in 
the artof arrangement, but also an ine 
timate knowledge of the character and 
powers of the instruinent for which they 
are designed, : 
The Song of Fitzs-Eustace. Sung by Mr. Ashes 
in the Senate-Hcusey Cambriage. , Composed by ° 
Dr. Fobn Clarke. 2s. Gd, 
This song, the poetry of which is taken 
from Marmion, a Tale of Flodden Field, 
does high credit to the taste and imagi- » 
nation of the ingenious composer. The 
melody is characterized by a mellifluence 
of style peculiarly adapted to the subject 
and cast of the words, and the general 
effect must excite attention and interest 
in every cultivated and tasteful hearer. 
The <* Tear,” a favourite Song, sung by Miss. 
Parke, ot the Bath and London Concerts. 
Composed by Mr. Rayzini. The Words b 
Sir George Dallas, Bart, 1s, Gd. i. 
The ‘ Tear,” though not one of Mr, 
Rauzini’s most perfect efforts in the bal- 
lad style of writing, possesses some pleas- 
ing passages, and is tolerably expressive 
of the poet’s meaning; but the ideas 
want union, and the rhythm is not always 
duly preserved. 
La Carslina, an AdagioG Rondo, for the Pianos 
forte. Composed and dedicated to Lady Ca- 
rolina Lowther, by P. Anthony Corri. 2s. 
The introductory movement to this 
piece isan adagio, uncommonly elegant 
and impressive in its style. The rondo 
is strikingly pretty in its theme, and the 
digressive matter is conceived with taste, 
while the ideas are arranged with appro- 
priateness and connection. The merit 
of this picce, taken in the aggregate, will, 
as we should judge, secure its good re- 
ception with piano-forte practitioners. 
$6 Nannie, O! a fawourite Glee for four 
Voices, in Imitation of the Scottish Melody, 
Suxg with Applause by Miss Parke, Messrs. 
W, Knyuct?, Harrison, ond Sale, jun.. at 
Messrs. Knywvetts Annual Concert. Composed 
by Knyvett. 15. 6d ; 
This glee is set in a pleasant, easy style. 
The passages are smooth and flowing, 
and the general effect is at once harmo- 
nious and graceful. We do not, however, 
zive our unqualified approbation to the 
arrangement of the bass and inner parts; 
which in several instances do not, we 
must be allowed to say, exhibit the re- 
fined gud finished contrapuntist. colt
