REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
7 ES Délaffements Militaixes; the favourite 
divertifement, co~pofed by Monf. Gallet, 
as danced at the King’s Theatre, adapted for 
the Piano-Forte, by jofeph Mazzinghi. $s. 
Goulding. 
This publication confifts of fourteen 
movements, fo conftruéted as happily to 
contraft and relieve each other. The 
firf! movement, or overture, 1s im com- 
mon time, and is conceived in a bold 
and manly ftyle. The fecond in ¢ an- 
dante, is fmooth and pleafing, as alfo 1s 
the third in 2 maeftofo. The fucceed- 
‘ing movement is of a lefs ftriking charac- 
ter; nor are we greatly attracted by the 
fifth; but the fixth, in 2 vivace, and the 
feventh, in common time, andanie, are 
charmingly imagined, efpecially the lat- 
ter. With the two following, in 2 alle- 
gro, we are particularly ftruck; and 
the tenth in 2 vivace is agreeable, though 
fomewhat common-place. The eleventh 
and twelfth, in 2 fpiritofo, poffefs much 
“{pirit and hilarity; and the thirteenth, 
a Polonoife, is charaéterifed by much 
{weetnefs and novelty. The finale, in 
2 allegro, is a rondo, the fubjeé&t of which 
1s pleafing and original; and the reliefs 
are judicious; particularly one in the 
minor, and another in the fifth of the 
key major. 
Mufica del Ballo, intitolato La Ritrovata 
Figlia di otteneii, compofta e ridotta ad Ufo 
di Cembalo, or Piano Forte. Dedicataa S. M. 
L'Impératitce Maria Terefa de Bourbon, dail’ 
umiliffimo, e rifpettofiflimo Servitore Leopoldo 
Kozeluch. 7s. 6d. Linley. 
The mufic of ‘* La Ritrovata Fighia” 
fills fitty-five pages. The movements 
are varioys, and admirably adapted to 
the fevera] {cenes to which they are ap- 
propriated. Among them we cannot 
but diftinguifh the paftorale, the Fanfare, 
La Tempeft, La Sorprefa, the Marcia 
Lugubre, and the concluding Ciacone. 
Many paffages of perfect novelty occur 
in thefe movements, moft of which dif- 
play the icience as well as ingenuity of 
the compofer. In their prefent form 
they are perfectly congenial to the piano- 
furte, and calculated, as much to im- 
prove the finger, as to delight the ear, 
of the young performer. 
The Clarionet Preceptor, or the Art of play- 
ing the Clarionet_rendered eafy to every capa- 
city. gs. Goulding. 
‘The author of this publication profeffes 
to give “every elucidation relative to 
the clarionet, in the moft clear and fimple 
manner; and by which any one may, 
without the affiiiance of a mafter, learn 
to play, with tafte and judgment, ina 
fhort time.’’ What more book-inftruc- 
tion can effeét towards perfecting the 
pupil, this work may juftly pretend to 
perform. ‘The precepts are methodicaliy 
and judicioufly laid down ; and befides the 
information principally and exclufive- 
lv requifite for the clarionet performer, 
includes much general tuition. The feale 
for this inftrument is pourtrayed in a very 
perfpicuous and fatisfaétory manner ; and 
the ‘* {cale of cadence’’ we think, highly 
ufeful. Many niceties and particulars 
are here noticed and explained, which 
are not commonly found in inftru€tion 
books; and the airs, tunes, duets, &c. 
which accompany the work, are well- 
chofen exercifes. 
Stop Bellona’s Crimfon Car, written by G. 
S. Carey, and compofed by J. Ambrofe. 1s. 6d. 
: Riley. 
Mr. Ambrofe has evinced confiderable 
genius in this vocal efforr. Much cha- 
racteriftic {pirit pervades the compofi- 
tion, and exhibits the poet and- the 
mufician hand-in-hand. Weare obliged, 
at the fame time, to obferve, that fome 
few theoretical inaccuracies appear, which 
a thorough acquaintance with the laws 
of compofition would have avoided: and 
the accompaniment is not, perhaps, al- 
ways fo appropriated to the fenfe as a 
perfectly chafte judgment would have 
directed. 
Six Sonatas for the Harpfichord or Piano- 
Forte, by Madame La Marquife de Montalem- 
bert. 7s. 6d. Birchall. 
Madame La Marquife de Montalem- 
bert merits much praife by thefe pieces. 
She has not-felecied for the exercife of 
her talents, the higher {phere of inftru- 
mental compofition; but, fo far as her 
plan extends, fhe has acquitted herfelf 
with much-fuccefs. The ftyle is fimple, 
clear, and attractive; and the young 
practitioner may derive much improve- 
ment from her publication. 
Old Vocal Delighes, with a New Accompa- 
niment for the Piano-Forte. Price 3s.  Skillem. 
Of this work, which 15 defigned to be 
periodical, only the firft number has yet 
appeared. Its contents are chiefly French 
airs, fome detached, others taken from 
French operas. They are, for the moit 
part,
