1797-4 
are feleéted have long been defervedly 
favourites; and thofe compofed by Mr. 
Jones, are, for the moft part, remarkable 
for their elegance or novel {prightlinefs. 
“The Prince of Wales’s Minuet,’ the 
Variations to ‘© The Yellow-hair’d Lad- 
die, the Rondeau, page 16, the “ Not- 
turno,’ page 21, and the Rondeau, page 
2, are particularly worthy of praife. 
The baffles are well chofen throughout, 
and the paffages fo conftruéted as to be 
equally commodious for the Harpfichord 
and Harp. 
Skillern’s Seleét Colleftion of Duets, and of 
Catches and Glees, for Three and Four Voices, 
as fung at the Public Gardens, Theatres, &c. 
2S. Skillera, 
This work is publifhed in numbers, 
the two firft of which we have before us. 
The compofitions they comprize are the 
Duet “ © Santiffima,’’ the celebrated 
Cangn ‘“‘ Non nobis,” the Diets ‘‘ Sweet 
doth blufh,” by Dr. Harrington, “ When 
Phoebus the tops of the hills,’ “ Begone, 
dull Care,’ “ From Night till Morn,” 
“© Could a Man be fecure,’’ ‘‘ Go, falfe 
Damon,’ and “* When Bibo thought 
fit.’ To the excellency of this Seleétion 
we have to add, that the work is accu- 
rately engraved and neatly printed. 
Six Duets for the Voice, with’ an Accompa- 
miment for the Piano-Forte; two by Bianchi, 
two by Mozart, and two by Zingarelli, dedicat- 
ed to the Duchefs of York, by Catherine Sal- 
vini, 8s. 6d. Stabe a tae 
Thefe Duets, as fung to a band, by 
Banti, Pachierotti, David, and Marchefi, 
produced an uncommonly fine effect; and 
as here given for the voice and piano- 
forte, are ftill calculated to delight a re- 
fined ear. Each compofition is ftrikingly 
charaéteriftic of the mafter, and forms a 
fpecimen of the beft ftyle of the hand 
from which it comes. With ‘* Ah. per- 
che fratante,’ ‘“ Deh piega avoti,” and 
«¢ Ah perdono al primo affetto,” we are 
particularly pleafed. A remarkable ele- 
gance of ‘air runs through each of thefe 
three Duets, and with thofe who enjoy a 
tafte for highly-finifhed defcant, gives 
much intereft and importance to the col- 
lection. 
The “ Addrefs toa Violet,’’ compofed by 
C. H. Wilfon. ts. Skillern, 
The ‘“ Addrefs toa Violet”’ is an agree- 
able little Air. The melody, though 
neither ftriking nor novel, is {mooth and 
eafy, and free from thofe vulgar com- 
mon-place. paflages which are too often 
found in the ballads of the day.

From Seventeen Years, a Serious Glee, by 
G. C. Athley; the words from Shakfpeare. 
1s. 6d. Skillern, 
We admire the fimplicity of this juve- 
nile effort. It confifts of two trebles, a 
counter-tenor, and a bafs. - All the parts 
are flowing in themfelves, and, generally 
{peaking, harmonize with eachother. At 
the fame time we cannot allow it the me- 
rit of much contrivance ; nor can we fee, 
without cenfure, the’ fractional part of 
a bar which is introduced immediately 
after the double bar, at the words “ Art 
seventeen Years.” 
The Sentences, Pfalms, Hymns, and An- 
thems, as fung at the Afylum. Chiefly com- 
pofed by J. W. Calcott.. cs. 
_ After an attentive perufal of this pub- 
lication, parts of which are furnithed 
by the mufe of Mr. Barthelemon, we 
find ourfelves enabled to {peak of it in 
terms honourable to the compofers. From 
the purpofe for which thefe little pieces 
are written, it will, in courfe, occur to 
our readers, that they fhould be fhort, 
and of fimple conftruction: thefe requi- 
fites have been attended to ; and, where- 
ever the fubjeét would permit, the maf- 
ters whofe names accompany the work, 
have difplayed their tafte and their theo- 
retical excellence. We therefore do nor 
hefitate to pronounce the publication as 
highly worthy the notice of families who 
devote a part of their fabbaths to lyric 
devotion. 
Six Progreflive Sonatinas for the Piano-Forte, 
compoied and fingered by Muzio Clementi. 6s, 
Longman and Broderip, 
Mr. Clementi in thefe Sonatas has at- 
tended to that quality which forms the 
“chief merit of mufic defigned for young 
practitioners; thev are truly progreffive. 
The eafy and melodious ftyle in which 
they are writen ts caleulated to attra& 
the attention of children, and, together 
with the fingering, qualifies them to ra- 
pidly improve the ftudent. 
Three Sonatas for the Piano-Eo tc, with an 
Accompaniment for a Violin. Compofed by 
J. L. Hoberech. Longman and Broderip. 
It is with great pleafure that we enter 
upon the review of thefe Sonatas : much 
merit prefents itfelf for our obfervation, 
as well in theory as in fancy. 
The firft piece is in B flat major, and 
opens with-a movement in common time, 
allegro, im which the author has difplaved 
confiderable talents in the art of modula- 
tion, and much addrefs in adjufting his 
paflages to the finger. The fecond move-
