{mooth and flowing in its ftyle, and which 
is relieved by a movement in &, conceived 
with much vivacity of imagination. But 
the praife fo juftly due to the two firft of 
thefe fonatas, is vet exceeded by that 
which we owe to the third. This laft 
piece we find replete with paffages that 
announce great warmth of fancy and 
flrength of judgment. ‘The firft move- 
ment is highly fpirited, yet: regular ; 
while the fecond, an air in 3, with vari- 
ations, is charaéterized by its peculiar 
tafte and beauty of melody. . 
Three. Hymns and Three Anthems, com- 
pofed for the Afylum and Magdalen chapels, 
refpectfully dedicated to the Governors of thofe 
charities, by Ars. Barthelemon, 55. Linley. 
It is of courfe a particular gratifica- 
tion to us, when we are enabled to {peak 
favourably of female compofitions ; and 
Mrs. Barthelemon, whofe prefent work 
(Op. 3) ranks above the common pro- 
ductions from female’ hands, ‘affords us 
an ample opportunity for that gratification.

brated ballad, fung by Ma/fer Walfh, at Vaux-

Games. The melody compofed by Charles Dig- 
mum. IS, Longman and Broderip, 
This ballad, the melody only of which 
Mr. Dignum claims, is pleafingly con- 
“ceived, and characteriftic of the words to 
which it is applied. 
- Mrs, Jordan’s favourite Song in Vortigern ; 
@ompofed by Mr. William Linley. 1s. -Ditto. 
With the plaintive fimplicity of this 
little air we were much delighted. It 
is not perfectly {cientific, nor is the bafs 
fo well chofen as it might have been; 
but with the lovers of bailads, the beau- 
ty of the melody will amply atone for 
thefe defects. 
Six Solos pour la Flute avec Accompagnement 
de Baffe. Dédiés 4 Monfieur le Marquis de la 
Bourdonnage, Officier de la Gendarmerie. Com- 
-pofés “par F. Devienne. 7s.6d, Longman & Co. 
After an attentive inveftigation of thefe 
Solos, we find ourfelves entitled to the 
pleafure of giving them great commenda- 
tion. A very refpeétable portion of {ci- 
ence, and a thorevgh acquaintance with 
the fiuite, is apparent, in almoft every 
movement. It itrikes us, that by fome 
trivial alterations marked by the infertion 
of {mall notes, thofe paflages that are par- 
ticularly adapted to the flute, might have 
been rendered alfo pragticable for the 
pianc-forte, which would have produced 
avaluable acquifition to performers on that

The Happy Dreamer, a Ballad. Set to
