REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

A Divertimento for the piano-forte, with Ac- 
companiments for a flute, violin, and violon- 
cello, by Mr. L. Yon Ejch. Op. 14. 35- F, Linley 
This divertimento opens with a Marche 
Religicufe, facceeded by an air, 1 com@mon 
time, which is again relieved by a move- 
E 6. major, is 
its ftandard key; but digreffions into its 
ath A 6, and its redaisve minor C, are 
given, with peculiar good effect, and con- 
tribute, togethér with other unequivocal 
mvorks of {cientific qualification, to prove 
the author's profedlional abilities. The 
merit of the piece runs in that uniform 
even tenor, that, to give ita general good 
charaéter, rather than to enter into any 
particular critici{m, appears to us the 
Hetter mode for its review ; and, tliere- 
fore, we content curfelves with pro- 
nouncing it a refpectable compofition, 
and recommend it as an agreeable and 
improving exercife for the piano-forte 
practitioner. 
William’s Return, a favourite Sea Song, 
by T. Ambrefe, 1s. Riley. 
Mr. Ambrofe, whofe capability in little 
efforts like the prefent, we have fre- 
quently admired, has, In this inftance,

an air, agreeable in itfelf, and well 
adapted to the words it is meant to e€x- 
prefs. Some trivial defeéts, however, 
we find ourfelves obliged to notice : tuch 
as the. firft bar moving wholly in the 
fourth of the key, and the opportunity 
that has been ofnitted to be taken of mo- 
dulating, after the fixth bar, into the fifth 
‘of the key, which would have added to 
the variety and fpirit of the compofi- 
tion. i

is, for the moft part, {mooth and natural, —
