the top of th« second jwige ; towards the 

 end of the introduction, the subject of a 

 inarch which occurs in the subsequent part 

 of the lesson is introduced in the b.iss 

 with great effect. Tlie theme is, in our 

 opinion, ill chosen ; it is a tritiing and com- 

 mon-place air by Reeve from Paul and 

 Virginia ; but tlie four variations are such 

 as might be expected from the composer, 

 original and beautiful : after the fourth, Air. 

 Ries introduces a march, which, by-the-bye, 

 is, note for note, the quick movement in 

 Braham's quartetto, " Mild as the Moon- 

 beams ;" surely the source ouglit to liave 

 been acknowledged from which it was bor- 

 rowed. The lesson is wound up in a very 

 masterly manner by a re-introduction of 

 the first movement, and forms altogether a 

 very finished composition, almost of the 

 first class. 



Variations on a Theme in the Opera of 

 Cenerentola, by Don Mathew Ferrers. Is. 6d. 

 Paine ami Hopkins. — The variations are 

 simple and well constructed, and tlie theme 

 pleasing. Compared witli tlie last pieces 

 we have been noticing, tliis lesson is com- 

 paratively easy ; indeed, with tlie exception 

 of tlie last . variation, we might say posi- 

 tively so. The name of the composer 

 strikes us as completely English ; how does 

 he happen to answer the title of Don ? we 

 trust it is not a ruse of the publishers. 



FLUTE. 



A First Concretino for the Flute, intro- 

 ducing the favourite airs, " Le Portrait 

 charmant," " C'est I' Amour," and" Le Petit 

 Tambour," by C. Nicholson, is. T. Lind- 



say. A Second do. do., introducing " The 

 Maid of Lodi," and " Fra ianti attgoscie," 

 is. These are the two first numbers of a set 

 of twelve, which, when completed, will form 

 a standard work for the instrument of the 

 gi'catest merit. 'I'lie flute, wliicli is princi- 

 pal throughout, though brilliant and in the 

 style of a concerto, is not difiicult, and the 

 pianoforte accompaniment easy and effec- 

 tive. In or<ler to give as much variety as 

 possible, the composer lias generally intro- 

 duced three popular airs into each piece ; an 

 andante with embellishments, an air with 

 variations, and a rondo britlante. The two 

 specimens before us are exquisite, and if 

 the author continues as he has begun, tb« 

 sale of tlie work must be immense. 



A second Melange from Der Frcischiitz, 

 including the Polacca, Adagio, Hunting Cho- 

 rus, and Finale. Composed and arranged by 

 T. Lyndsay. is. Lyndsay. — A Third ditto, 

 including Vie first movement of the Uferlure, 

 " Through the Forests," Drinking Song, 

 Laughing Chorus, and Waltz. Do. do. 

 — These are very elegant arrangements, 

 and contain a gSod deal of original matter, 

 which is well interwoven with the original 

 subjects. The piano-forte, which is obligato, 

 is by Cuiier, Mus. Bac; uiid proceeding as 

 it does from two persons who thoroughly 

 understand their instruments, the taut en- 

 semble cannot fail to be pleasing. 



FourthMclange, from IlCrociato inEk/ytk), 

 T. Lindsay. 3s. — Tlie same character tliat 

 we have bestowed on the last two numbers 

 will suftice.namely.that the selection is good 

 and the arrangement excellent.
