Sonats for the Pianoforte. Arranged from 
Corelli's eighth ConcertofZvith Accompaniments 
for a Violin and Violoncelloby T. Haigh. 
Q.S. 6d. 
Mr. Haigh, — though in some few iii- 
stajices we meet with a discord unpre¬ 
pared, and some other little inaccuracies, 
resulting from haste; we feel assured, 
rather from that than any other cause— 
Mr. Haigh, we say, has displayed in his 
arrangement of this excellent sonata 
of Corelli, considerable judgment and 
taste; and we scruple not to say, has 
rendered himself secure of the appro¬ 
bation of the advocates of the best 
music of the old school. 
Duets for the Pianoforte, Selected and ar¬ 
ranged from Handel's Te Deums by J. Ma%- 
e&inghij Esq, 4s. 
Mr. Mazzinghi’s qualifications for ar¬ 
rangement in the higher classes of com¬ 
position is so w'ell known, that our read¬ 
ers will naturally anticipate our entire 
approbation of the adaptation before us, 
and scarce require to be told that the 
ingenious master has not only com¬ 
pressed into four staves all the body, as 
it were, of a multitudinous score, but has 
omitted as judiciously as scrupulously, 
and preserved perhaps all that was pos¬ 
sible of the spirit of his great original. 
Impromptu Health to the King," sung by the 
, Gentlemen of the Harmonic Society at Canter¬ 
bury, The Music by 0. Saffery. 15. 
These words are set to music just in 
that broad simple style which, in our 
opinion, best suits the popular subject 
to which they allude: and, indeed, both 
the language and the music are so easy, 
and so natural to the occasion, that we 
should imagine the appellation mpromptu 
to equally belong to both. 
In a Cottage near a hVood," a favourite Song, 
Kvitk Variations. Composed by Mr. Gildon. 
xs. 6d. 
Tilr, Gildon, of vvhose piano-forte com¬ 
positions we have frequently liad occa¬ 
sion to speak in terms of approbation, 
has acquitted himself vei 7 respectably 
in the present instance, and has pro¬ 
duced an exercise for the instrument 
for which it is intended (bpt which in¬ 
strument is not mentioned in the title- 
page) that will be found useful to prac¬ 
titioners in general. 
A favourite Air, voith Variations for the Harp 
or Pianoforte, Composed by a Lady, 1j. 6(L 
Happy are we when evidences of fe¬ 
male meric come before us; and we 
thank this lady for the pleasure which 
her ingenuity affords us of speaking well 
of her present effort. Tlie variations 
she has given to this pleasing and popu¬ 
lar little air, are certainly conceived 
with considerable taste, and contain 
some animated and brilliant turns upon 
the original thought. 
O o 
The Reply, a Sequel to the justly-admired Bal¬ 
lad of the Request. Written and composed 
by John Parry, Editor of the Welsh Melo¬ 
dies. Is. Cd, 
An ease and unaffectedness runs 
through this little air that greatly pleases 
us. The ideas are natural, and ana¬ 
logous to the subject, and bespeak a 
close correspondence of feeling between 
the author and composer. 
** The Bee proffers Honey but bears a Sting," a 
favourite Ballad, sung by Mr. Broadburst, 
at Sadler^s Wells Theatre, in the Council of 
Ten, or the Lady of the Grotto. Written by 
Mr, C. Dibdin, fun. Composed and ar¬ 
ranged for the Pianoforte or Harp, by W, 
Reeve. Is. Cd. 
This little song is both written and 
composed with a strong feeling of the 
subject on which it bears ; and, from the 
ease and natural turn of the poetry, and 
the aptitude and pleasantness of the 
music, will scarcely fail to please the 
majority of hearers. 
0 nvere yon Hills," a Scotch Ballad. Com¬ 
posed by T. Haigh. Is. 6d. 
The music of this beautiful little bal¬ 
lad, the words of which are by Burns, 
certainly reflects great credit on IMr. 
Haigh’s taste and conception, and will 
not, we feel assured, faii to strongly 
attract the generality of hearers. •
