"THREE Sonatas for the piers com- 
pofed by Muzic Chimenti. Rrice 8s: 
. Longmas‘and Broderip.) 
Mr. Clementi is frequently firiking 
and forcible in his salen but never f{tu- 
died the firft and great quality in mutic, 
effec, with more ficeee than in fome 
movements of the prefent } publication. 
The firft fonata is in C major, and 
opens with a racvement in common time, 
Aliecys a molio ; the paflages of which 
fluw out of each other with much eafe and

The fucceeding movement, 
an adasio' in 3, 1s: elezant and finifhed, 
and finale beautifully lively. The 
fecond piece is in G major, and com- 
mentes with an engaging mevement, in 
common time, Allegra, ” followed by a 
movement “ in the folemn ftyle,’’ in 
which we cannot fay the author appears 
with ,the fuperiority of talent generally 
difplayed in his compofitions ; he feems 
to have miitaken heavinefs for folemnity, 
and baldnefs for fimplicity: the fubject 
of the concluding rondo, though trivial, 
is pleafingly handled, and clofes the 
fonata in a mafterly ‘tyle. The third 
Lee which is in D major, opens in 
mmon time, Allegro, and after a move- 
ee recommended by its ftriking and 
uncommon ee as, leads to an Allegretio 
vivace, in 2, the theme of which, though 
it pofleffes me theoretical defe&t of flart- 
ing on the fixth of the key, is ingenious, 
and relieved very judicioufly by the in- 
troduction of the minor of the originai 
key. The finale is paiti icularly intereft- 
ing in its iubjeét, and is purfued with an 
addrefs which befpeaks the real mafter, 
“iil fixes the attention of the hearer.
