Sig. Moiinz has rendered this cele- 
brated Welch air an acceptable exercife 
for practitioners on the Piano-Forte. 
The variations he has given it are fanci- 
ful, without too great a disreffion; and 
. adtive, without too much diciculty.

_ This air is conceived with much vigour 
and chaftenefs of fancy. It is given in 
fcore, and we find the feveral parts ad- 
jufted with the fkill of a real mafter.

greatly to the brilliancy of the effect.

Sig. Rossexxy has not difplayed any 
confiderable portion of tafte in the pre- 
fent publication. In fome paffages he is 
happy in his expreilon ; as dt the words 
“© ne al mio dolore,’ in the firft duett, and 
“yo narrando L’amor mic’ inthe fecond. 
‘They are both in the key of E fiat, major, 
a circumfiance which we would. have 
withed had been avoided. Ina publica- 
tion confifting of two pieces only, the re- 
Hef of different. keys would certainly 
have been eligible.

Review of New Mufic. 
| [ June, 
Harpfichord, or Organ, by Bemetzrieder 
tes. 6d. Skillem- 
Mr. BEMETZRIEDER, in his title, 
quotes the French author, Caillot, ap- 
‘plying to himfelf the fentence, “ Par fes 
guvrageés il a ennobli la mufique.’ Weare 
forry we cannot coincide in the applica~ 
tion. ‘The prefent work is certainly 
little calculated to ennoble the mufical 
{cience, or to improve the ftudent in har- 
mony ; it wants method, concifenefs. and 
perfpicuity. The matter, though im 
many places not without merit, is fo dif- 
pofed, as often to be urterly unintelligible 
to the pupil; and, except toa maiter, fill 
more frequently impraéticable. We 
have long regarded this author.as a real 
mufician, and perfeétly qualified to, in- 
form the rifing race of performers, and 
have, therefore, regretted that he did not 
reduce his didaétic labours to a ftyle of - 
greater fimplicity and clearne(s ; and by 
illuftrating his precepts, and placing his 
examples in a mere obvious point of view, 
render his. pubucations intelligible to 
that clafs of praétiiioners, for whofe in- 
formation and improvement they are 
exprefsly defigned. Fe 
The Introduction, March and Dance, in the 
Taterlude of the Fairy Feftiyal, as performed at 
the Theatre-Royal, Drury-Lane, compoted by 
T. Atwood. 2s. Lavenu.- 
, The introdu€tory movement to this 
little publication is in F moderato. The 
fubject is remarkable for its prettinefs 
and novelty ; and the ftyle throughout 
is confiftent and uniform. The march 
and dance, which it is employed to intro- 
duce, are alfo good in their kind; efpe- 
cially the former, which contains more 
of that bold fimplicity demanded by,the ~ 
fife and drum, than we generally meet 
with in modern marches.- > 
Incantation, as fung by Mifs Leak, Mafter 
Welth, and Mrs Bland, in the Fairy Feftival, 
compofed by T. Atwood. Is. . Lavenu, 
his Incantation, and the above Intro- 
duétion, March and Dance, are all, we 
believe, that Mr. Arwoop has publifh- 
ed of the Fairy Feftival. We here find 
a trio introduced by four lines folo, fung 
by Mrs. Branpo. The melody is 
’ 
pleafing, and the bars are conftruéted 
with confiderable art and addrefs. The 
mufic of the trio being repeated to two 
additional verfes, it bears the form of a 
ballad harmonized, and produces an 
agreeable effect. . ae
