PRINCIPLES of Mufic, chiefly calculated 
for the Piano Forte, or Harpfichord, with pro- 
greflive Leffons, by J.N. Hulimande/, Op. 12. 
gos. 6d. Longman and Broderip. ea 
This work will be found very ufeful to 
young beginners. Its’method is very 
fimple, and the leffons are progreffively 
arranged with great judgment for the 
purpofe intended. 
__A Set of Englith Canzonnets, and an Elegy 
compofed by W, Shield, 78.60. Longwi2n and . 
Brodeript. 
Thefe canzonnets, we have no doubt, 
willbecome very popular. The words 
are well chofen, and judicioufly fet, with 
the marked fimplicity of ftyle, peculiar 
to Mr. Shield. 
_ The favourite Divertifement, the Banquet, 
compofed by Signior Onorzri, as danced at the 
King’s Theatre, felected, &c. by I. Maza:n- 
chiy Op. 22, 58. Goulding. 
This little divertifement has been well 
received at the Opera Houfe ; the effect 
of its performance produced tranfports of 
applaufe, the mufic is light and airy. 
Per Vivere Contento ; fung by Signior Viga- 
noni, at the King’s Theatre, Haymarket, in the 
Opeia of I Due Gobbi, compoied by Siginor 
Per. in Pileerts gods 
Io Parto mio Bene; fung by Signior Viga- 
_honi, at the King’s Theatre, Haymarket, in the 
Opera of I Due Gobbi, compofed by Signior 
Schifmayer. Price 15. 6d. 
_ Thefe two fongs meet with univerfal 
applaufe. hey are taken from the fa- 
vourite opera I Due Gobdi, cempofed by 
the Spanifh muficians Per and Schifmayer, 
in a ftvle peculiarly novel. Spain, though 
fo generally backward in what relates to 
the elegancies of literature and the arts, 
an the prefent inftance, has produced {pe- 
cimens of mufic, equal to fome of the 
bet Italian compofitions. 
 Donzelle Semplici, a favourite Song, as in- 
troduced and fung by Madame Bunti, at the 
King’s Theatre, in the Haymarket, in the Opera 
of Iphigenia in Tauride, compofed by Mr. 
Gluck, evranged with an Accompaniment for the 
Piano Forte. Price 3s. Be 
Gluck, a compofer well known to Eng- 
Tih audiences, has, in the fong before us, 
equalled his ufual grand flyle. Madame 
Banti, by her {uperior execution, did great 
juttice to her author, and this plece may 
_be expected to become a favourite among 
Enelith ladies. 
Hlaydn’s Overture, performed at Solomon’s 
Concert, adapted for the Piano Forte, by Du/- 
feck. Longman and Broderip, — ~ 
The frequenters of that concert are 
well acquainted with the merit of this 
great man’s compofitions.
