A Notturno forthe piano forte, with Accom- 
paniments for the violin and violoncello} 
acompoteal by Adalbert Gyrowwetz. 48. 
Longman and Broderip. 
“This: ‘ompofition is highly elaborate, 
‘and in many of its paflages fparkies with 
genius, ‘Fhe general beauty of the 
jeading part has induced us to a very 
clofe examination of the ace compa animents; 
and we find them conftructed with great 
ikiill and contrivance. They flow along 
with their principal with an eafe and in- 
timacy which proves the author qualified _ 
to take every advantage of which the in- 
genious theorift avails him, without the 
intricacy and abiirufeneis of affected 
learning. 
€¢ Moll of the Wad:” a favourite Tif alr, 
with Variations; for the harp or piano- 
fortes “by. Gardner. SIs: Skillern. 
Mr. GARDINER has given eight varia- 
tions to this air, which are progreffive i in 
execution, and pleafine in fyle. ‘They 
are perfectly calculated for thes improve- 
ment of young fcholars, and lie fo well 
for the fingers as to avoid ever y embar- 
rafiment. 
ee Hone the Bark cuts the Seas: a fong in 
he Algerine Corfair; compofed by 7. Sade 
a jon. iS. Riley. 
This fong is:'an Algerine’s defcrintion 
of a fea-battle. The: melody, which in 
general is extremely characteriftic, is 
much heightened by the fpirited excel- 
ence of the accompaniments. Their 
combined effe&t is indeed fo powerful 
that we have feen few vocal produCtions 
fo truly theatrical and pitturefque. So 
far above mediocrity as we find the 
whole, yet we mult diftinguifh the pai- 
fages and accompanimenss given to the 
words. ** Such havock, fuch flathing,”

which, for their fire and vigour, wuld 
equal any praife we could give them. 
The .Britifth March; as pezformed by the 
Duke of York’s band; compofed and dedi- 
cated to the Duke of York, by M. P.King. 
1s. Gd. lena and Broderip. 
‘This march is publifhe ed in.a {core of 
thirteen, parts, and is given on a feparate 
Sheet as adapted for the piano-forte. 
‘The parts are adjufted with fkill, and 
calculated to produce a good effect ; and 
though. the melody poffeffe es nothing very 
new, the pailages flow into gh other 
with fo much eafe and nature, as to ren- 
der the compofition very pleafing, and 
furnifn- an agreeable exercife’ for the 
piano- -forte. 
‘6 Bara Vate:” a fong, with an Accompani- 
ment for the piano-forte; written by Foby 
Review of New Mufical Publications: 
Rennie; compofed by Mr. Refey organit ef 
St. Paul’s,. Aberdeen. ‘Is. 
Longman and Broderip. 
«© Bara Vale’ is one of the prettieft 
ballads we have noticed for a long while. 
The air, which is fomewhat plaintive in 
its ftyle, is uncommonly fimple, and cha- 
racterized by much fweetnefs and novelty. 
The accompaniment is judicioufly con- 
ftructed, and the bafs carries with it the 
hand of a matter. 
The Clitis, Keys, and Time; dedicated to 
Lady CATHERINE West, by Mr. Bemet- 
zrieder. » 18. Skillern. 
In this ufeful little’ publication, we 
find a table of all the cliffs, examples of 
the feveral major and minor keys, marks 
of time, progreffions of time, and other 
articles highly ferviceable to the 7yro in 
mufic. 
‘* Lilly Chafte and Lilly Fair:” fung by Mr. 
Dignum 5 compofed by Mr. Ros.” 1s. 
Longman and Brodertp. 
This fong is pleafing in its fubject, 
and uniform in its ftyle. If we were to 
point out the paffages the leaft excellent, 
we fhould felect them frem the fecond 
part. The relative unifon, which is fud- 
denly introduced, is deferted too haftily 
to afford that relief for which the ear 
litens in a change ‘of the eis and the 
notes given to Modeft violet, alfo fly,” 
are aukward in their diftances. 
as The Withy’ a canzonet; compofed by 
F. Ambrop. 1S. Riley. 
te The With’? is one of Mr. Am- 
BROSe’s moft pleafing and original pro- 
ductions. It confifts of two moncnee 
agreeably contralted; and the latter of 
which rings a pretty, change, and happily 
accords with the fubje& of the words. 
© The Seaman’s Departure:” a fong; com- 
pofed by Mc. Anderfor. 1s. Riley. 
This ballad is fet in a ftyle chara&ter- 
iftic of the tar, and proves that the com- 
pofer can accommodate himfelf to general 
fubjects. The fymphonyis, perhaps, 
fomewhat too elaborate for the caf of the 
melody, and has the aukwardnefs of con- 
taining an odd bar. The paflage, at the 
wont <¢ ‘Think no more,” is particularly 
xpreffive, and leads the ear to the clofe 
ne a manner tnat is ftrongly interefting. 

Young Towler: a hunting fong fung at the 
theatres royal; compofed by Mr. Mou/ds. 
TS0 bees Rolf: 
xs Young Towler” is a decent fong in 
its kind; the mufic, if not ‘of the firtt 
onder oF merit, does more than juftice 
to the words, which indeed are greatly 
below mediocrity ; we do not, we muit 
consels, ditcoyer much of that {pirit a
