REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
Se! Notturni, a due wd, cem Accovipagna- 
tnento di Plano. Composti e dedicati a M.hs 
Cbinnery, da L. Cherubini. 7s. 
rr'^iIESE Notturni are characterized 
A by much elegance of style and 
force, as well as truth of expression. 
l^Iany brilliant turns of idea and happy 
commixture? distinguish the ruling me- 
Jodies, and their combination with the 
ander voice; while, not unfrequently, 
the ingenious u.se that is made of a 
passage with which our ears have long 
since been familiar, affords to it an air 
of novelty and a revived interest. The 
correctness of the engraver we cannot 
praise. Among the several errors that 
obtrude themselves on our notice, that 
in the third line of the sixth page, 
where an accidental natural that shpuld 
be applied to one note, is given to 
another, is particularly unfortunate. 
The Village Rondo, an original Air. Composed 
and arranged for the Pidno forte, by M, 
Holst, 2s. 
With the introductory movement to 
this rondo we are much pleased. The 
opening bars are tasteful and ingenious, 
and the employment in the bass, of the 
sensible to the second of the key-note 
IS scientific and judicious. The sub¬ 
ject of the rondo itself does not'strike 
us so forcibly ; hut the digressive matter 
IS feiiciCousiy imagined and ably con¬ 
ducted, and reflects much credit on Mr. 
HolsEs talent in this lighter species of 
composition. 
Les Deux Amis, a .Rondo for the Piano-forte. 
Composed and dedicated to TV. Russell, Mus. 
Bac. Oxon^ by W. H. Cutler. 2s. 
We confess to have perused this 
rondo with considerable pleasure. I'he 
young composer, (young we know him 
to be) in defiance of the modern pre¬ 
valence of the major key^ has adopted 
the minor; and, in our opinion, so ac¬ 
quitted himself as to have subdued the 
disadvantage he voluntary encountered. 
The introductory movement is well con¬ 
ceived; we are particularly pleased with 
the inverted passage of the fifteenth 
and sixteenth bars; and both the sub¬ 
ject and digression matter of the rondo 
itself are of a character to merit our 
commendation, as promising much fu¬ 
ture. excellence in this species of com¬ 
position. 
A Fantasia on the fa'uourite Air M.on Coeur 
Soupire," for the Harp or Piano forte. Com. 
posed and dedicated to Mr. Dussek, by P, 
Albimarr. 3s. 
We find in this Fantasia much spirit 
of execution, blended with scientific 
arrangement and artful combination. 
The modulation is conducted vvith much 
mastery, and a skilful, though chaste, 
variety of passages constantly gratify¬ 
ing the ear, and appeals to the feelings} 
while a judicious relief in the move¬ 
ments gives much heightening to th« 
general effect. 
Di’vertbnento for the Pianoforte. Composed 
and dedicated to Lieutenant-colonel Egerton, 
by Dominico Briscoli, Maestro di Capello^ 
composer and director of Music to the Louth 
Regiment, and Master of the Royal College 
of Pieta de Torckini, of Naples, 2s. 6d. 
We cannot announce this divertimen¬ 
to to the public in terms of the highest 
commendation; as a military compo¬ 
sition (for such it is evidently intended 
to be) it is defective in spirit; and as 
a piano-forte exercise it wants that 
ease, freedom, and connection, of 
thought, which chiefly constitute th« 
attractive style of the favourites of the 
public in this smaller cast of compo¬ 
sition.
