duetts cannot but recommend them to all 
piano-forte praétitioners of tafte and dif 
cernment. The elegant turas of thought 
difplayed in moft of the pafiages, the un- 
common modulations and tranfitions, to- 
gether with the equal diftribution of the 
melody and points between the two per- 
formers, ferve to give them a high rank 
among the inftrumental compofitions of 
the day. The firft duett comprizes four 
movements, and the fecond and third con- 
tain three each. ‘Thefe are in general fo 
judicioufly oppofed to each other in their 
ftyle, as to produce the mo effective and 
ftriking relief, and the parts are every 
where combined and mingled with fingu-

Numbers II, and IIT. of Handel’s Overtures for 
the Piano-forte and Flute. Adapted by Ff. 
Mazzinghi. Each 3s. 
Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
OF the prefent and future numbers of 
this ufeful work, the public, from our ac- 
count of the execution of the firftt number, 
will in fome degree be prepared to judge. 
It is therefore only neceflary to obferve, 
that Mr. Mazzinghi has now proceeded to 
the overtures of Xerxes, Rodelinda, #tius, 
Fulius Cafar, Tamerlane, and Acis, and 
Galatea; the arrangement of which is per- 
feétly correlpondent with that of the firft 
number. 
Ruben's Nut Brown Maid, a Ballad, as fung at 
, the Nobility’s Concerts.  <rranged for the 
Voice and Piano-forte, with an Accompani- 
ment fora Viol, Cempofed by the late Mr. 
F. Moulds. 15, Rolfe. 
This little ballad is compofed in the beft 
‘ftyle of its late ingenious author. The 
air is natural, eafy, and every way fuitable 
to the fenfe of the words. The violin ac- 
companiment forms a confiderable embel- 
difhment to the voice part and the bafs ; 
though not in every infance the belt that 
might have been chofen, it 1s too reipe€table 
to injure the reputation Mr. Moulds has 
Jeft behind him. 
‘La Pipe de Tatac, a favourite French Air, ar- 
vanged as a Rondofor the Pianv-forte, by A, 
Betts. 15. . Relfe.

led with addrefs, and the fupplementary 
parts of the piece do credit to “his tafte 
and fancy. The whole of the third fram, 
which is in the minor, is particularly well 
conceived, and forms a judicious digref- 
fion from the original fubject. 
The Lark, a favourite Song, with an Accompari- 
ment for the Piano-forteor Barp, 1s. Rolfe. 
The Lark is a pleafing fimple little bal- 
Jad, the melody ef which is pe:fctly fuit- 
able to the fentiment of the words, and not 
without fome originality of idea. The 
accompaniment is arranged both with fan- 
cy and judgment, and, if performed in a 
proper ftyle, is calculated to greatly im- 
prove tie effect of the air. 
Skipping Repes, a comic Song, fung by Mr. Da- 
vis, written by C. Diddin, jun. The Mujfic 
by Mrs. Dibd:n, 
In the words of this ballad, which con- 
fit of no lefs than fix verfes, we find fome 
degree of humour; and though the melo- 
dy, if a melody we may call it, is not re- 
markable for its regularity or novelty, yet 
it in fome degree meets the meaning of 
the author, and paffes oif wih confiderable 
life and {pirit.

Accompaniments for the Tamborine, and proper 
Figures. The whole arranged and prepared

Thefe Dances, whith are fourteen in 
number, have the advantage of being ren- 
dered, by the active ftyle of their baffles,

capacity we recommend them to the no- 
tice of beginners on thofe inftruments, per- 
fuaded that they will find their account in 
empleying them as occafional exercifes.

attention of thofe who are partial to little 
{portive productions of this kind.
