Review of the New fufical Publications. 219 
pal. topics which Mr, DussxcK has 
{elected for imitation, and, in which, fer 
the moit part, ‘he has greatly fucceeded. 
Theideas "are frequently new and ftrik- 
ing: while, in many places, the com- 
binations and modulations are matfterly 
and learned. The road of nature is not 
always kept, yet the bye-paths, however 
mitricate and perplexed, have generally 
the property of bringing back the va- 
grant author to the broad and fimple 
tract ; and the whole certainly forms an 
excellent practical leflon for the inftru- 
ment for which it is profefiedly compoled. 
Six favourite German Waltzes, arranged for 
the Piano-Forte. Price 1s. 
Prefton and Son. 
We find much to admire in thele little 
pieces. “They are, as their character 
demanded, eafy, fimple, and fhort; un- 
commonly pleafing in their ftyle, and 
calculated to improve the juvenile prac- 
titioner. . 
A Sonata forthe Piano-Forte, with Accom- 
paniments fora Violin and Violoncelio, ad 
libitum, compofed by . Frarcefco Tomich, 
«” Price 3s. 6d: Skillern. 
This fonata, though not in the fir 
rank of piano-forte compolitions, cer- 
tainly poflefles many pleafing paflages ; 
and in jome places difcovers a refpectable 
degree of fcience.. Lhe opening, which 
is an Adagio in commontime, is ftriking, 
and’ excellently preparative to the fuc- 
ceeding movement. We cannot entirely 
approve of modulations fo viclently di- 
greflive, as fome which we have met 
with; as in page 3 and 4, where wan- 
tonnefs and affection feem to ulurp the 
place of judgment and fober learning. 
The Andanie.is very agreeable, and its 
fubje& happily relieved by the Mixore, 
while the minuet, which it introduces is 
genteel and elegant, and concludes the 
piece with ah impreflion highly favoura- 
ble to its character. 
A Second Collection of Canzonets, anda Glee 
for Three Voices, with Accompaniments 
for the Piano Forte ‘or Harp, compofed by 
_T. Fiffin. Price 7s. 6d, Jones and Holland. 
We find fix canzonets ia this collec- 
tion, moft of which are conceived in a 
very engaging ityle, ‘The fubje€t and 
cat of the words, are not every where at- 
tended to with that precifion which forms 
the chief feature of all vocal, compofi- 
tions, neither are they wholly neglected. 
The accent (as in the firft bar of the can- 
zongt) 1s fometimes falfely laid, but the 
truth and force of the emphafis, in gene- 
ral, “torms an allowable fet-otf, againit 
: 
that defect, and imparts a valuable qua- 
lity to the melody. The glee, which 
clafes the collection, is fimple and plea- 
fing. It poflefles no counter-paint, or 
marks of harmonical contrivance, but is 
an agreeable melody harmonized. 
‘¢ The Cottagers;” a Glee for ThreeVoiceés, 
. alfo a favourite Round, compofed by Z. 
Atterbury. Price 1s. 6d. 
3 Jones and Holland. 
«¢ ‘The Cottagers’? is an ingenious 
compofition. ‘The pars are difpofed 
with judgment, and, confidering the 
general. poverty of the choral mufic ‘of 
modern days, are clofely wove. The 
round is evidently from the fame expe- 
rienced author. Its melody is eafy and 
flowing, and different voices are inter- 
mingled with much dexterity and art. 
‘© In vain we fill the fparkling bowl,” an 
Anacreontic Song, fung by Mr. Burrows, 
at Freemafon’s Hall, compofed by 7. B. 
Schroeder. Price 1s. Jones and Holland. 
We find much Bacchanalian {piritin 
this fong. The melody, though not 
ftrikingly novel, is free and open, and 
the intrcduétory and concluding fympho- 
nies, both infpirit and enrich the com- 
pofition. 
Ne. IT. and WI. of Apollo & Terpfichore, a 
Colle€@tion of the moft celebrated Songs, 
Duetts, Rondos, &c. adapted for the Piane- 
Forte, Violin, Guittar, or German Flute, 
1s. 6d. each Number. ‘Rolfe. 
Many of the airs, duetts, &c. collected 
in this publication, are highly defirable. 
The work is printed in a convenient poer- 
table fize, and. cannot but be found ex- 
ceedingly convenient to the amateurs of 
licht, eafy, fafhionable, and. familiar 
mufic. | We find in the prefent numbers, 
the celebrated.dance in ‘* Paul.et Virgi- 
nie’—a juftly favourite Swifs air—the 
well received trio, “ Here’s a health to 
ali good lafles’’—and ieveral others in 
much ¢ftimation. 
6¢ My Love to the War isgone;” afavourite 
Ballad, as fung at the Nobility’s Concerts 5 
compoied by Mr. Moulds. Price is. 
Rolfe. 
This isa pathetic ltele compoiition, 
and does much credit to the tafte of the, 
author. The fimplicity perfectly accords 
with the fubject of the, words; and the 
accompaniment, which is adapted both 
to the flute and violin, enrigbes the effect 
of the melody. The bats is, tor the mott 
pat, arpex22, but not always well cho- 
fen; particularly the fecond' note in the 
third bar’ ef «the fecond ‘part, “which 
fhould probably have been FE.
