New Music. 



[April, 



this example, there is every probability of 

 his becoming a favourite in this country; 

 the introduction is well adapted to the 

 subject, k evidently forms i)art of the piece, 

 which is not always the case with modern 

 introductions. Tlie Rondo is brilliant and 

 elegant, and never loses sight of the original 

 subject, which is treated with great skill. 

 The little attempt at Stretto di Fuga, page 

 7, is excellent in effect. 



Fanlasietla, fur tfie Piano Forte, on the 

 popular airs, " No FLwer can Compare," 

 and " Awai/ when we Jlce, Love,'" hi/ A. 

 Bennett, Mus. Bac. 2s. 6<l- Gonlding and 

 Dalmain.— The name of Mr. Bennett is 

 new to us, as well as that of the composer 

 of the last article, and as in the last in- 

 stance, (from so favourable a specimen of 

 the gentlemans abilities) we regret that 

 such is the case. Tlie two airs which form 

 tlie subjects of this piece are well chosen 

 and excellently arranged, and altogether 

 constitute a very pleasing and modemtely 

 difficult lesson. 



Divaiimcnto Eossiniano. Subjects ar- 

 ranged for the Piano Forte from his most 

 favourite Operas- Nos. 1, 2, 3. 3s. each. 

 Eavestaff' and Lindsay. — The first of tliese 

 numbers arranged by Challoner, consists of 

 a selection from the " Donna del Lago." 

 The first movement, march and chorus, 

 " Aurora che Sorijerai," and march. The 



second number also by Challoner from /' 

 Barbiere de Seviglia, we distinguisli it in 

 the airs " Dunque Jo son," " Al Idea," 

 " Buma Nvtte," &c. Tlie third is arranged 

 by Etherington from II Tancredi, contain- 

 ing part of the overture " Ditanto Palpiti," 

 " M'abbraccioArgircio," and PolaecaFinale. 

 AVe. do not on the whole know a more 

 pleasing piano forte arrangement of the 

 Beauties of Rossini than this ; the different 

 movements are so well diversified, and at 

 the same time so amalgamated together, 

 that they give more the idea of one com- 

 plete composition than a number of de- 

 tiiched pieces. 



Sacred Melange, from the Works of Haydn, 

 Handel and Mozart, by C Dumon. 3s. 

 Goulding, D'Almaine, and Co. —This Me- 

 lange comprises a kyi'ie by Haydn, — 

 " Total Eclypse," Handle—" Benedictus," 

 Mozart—" Disdainful of Danger," Handel, 

 and a movement by Ilaydn, of which we 

 do not recollect the title. A lesson of this 

 sort is a novelty and one that we ajiprove : 

 there are many lovely moreeaux in the 

 works of Jlozart, Ilaydn, Winter, Nau- 

 man, ^c, and we see no reason why tlie 

 enjoyment of these beauties should be con- 

 fined to vocalists. Mr. Dumon has done 

 justice to these pieces by his excellent ar- 

 rangcinent, and we trust he will continue 

 his labours.
