Numbers 9 and 10 of Elegant Scleftisns, com- 
prizing abe moft favorite Compofitions of Haydn, 
Pleyel, Mozart, Paifietlo, and other cftecm- 
ed Authors 3 conjifting of Sonatas, Overtures, 
Capricios, Rondo, and Airs, with Variations 
far the Piano-forte, or Harp. Each Number 
25. Rolfe. 
This work proceeds with its accuftomed 
excellence of felection, and prefents to vo- 
cal and inftrumental practitioners, exer- 
cifes, at once attractive to the ear, and 
improving to the voice and finger. In the 
prefent numbers we find the refpectable , 
names of Gluck, Mozart, and Haigh. The 
variations given by the latter to a cele- 
brated Welch air, ‘* Loft is my Quiet for 
ever,’” are pleafingly familiar ; and his 
arrangement of Gluck’s Favorite March, 
and, “When you Tell me your Heart 1s 
another’s,’” as Rondos, was a good idea, 
and has been fkilfully executed. 
A Symphony for the Piano Forte, a Vislin and 
Violincello; with Analytical Explanations of 
the Subjetts, and Imitations, the Modulations, 
the Counterpoint Inverfions, and the Rhythmical 
Order, it contains ; written and dedicated to bis 
Execllency Count de Brihl, by A. F. C.

Thofe who are acquainted with the ge- 
neral nature and quality of Mr. Kollmana’s 
publications, will expect to find fome ufe- 
ful information from a work under the 
above title; and thofe who fhall have the 
patience to perufe the prefent article with 
fufficient attention, will not mifemploy 
their labour. Every neceffary intruétion 
refpefting the piece is given by figns, ex- 
plained in the preface; and the compofition 
does credit to the author’s tafte and judg- 
ment. 
Mad Maudlin, a favorite Mad Song, with an 
Accompaniment for the Piano Forte or Harp.

- Prefion. 
There is fo much genuine merit in this 
little interefting compofition, that our mu- 
fical readers will, probably, be as folicitous 
as ourfelves to know to what fair hand 
they are indebted for its production. The 
feveral movements are conceived with 
much felicity of fancy, and give the fenti- 
ment of the words with point and beauty. 
The introdustion of the z7or- third, at the 
words,’ « OF all comforts bare,”” forms a 
moft affecting burthen to the fong ; and, 
together with the harmony and accompa- 
niinent, difplays uncommon judgment and 
knowledge of effect. .

Mr. Nezot is a pupil of Mr. Steibelr, 
and by his compofitions does credit to his 
ingenious matter.

ExpeGation, a favorite Rondo, compofed by Dr, 
fhburnham. Is. Tih begs 
“¢ Expectation”? forms a very pleafing 
Rondo. The fubject is remarkably pretty, 
and the fubordinate parts of the air are ju- 
dicioufly digreffive. Jp would, perhaps, 
be poifible to point out fome trifling im- 
provements jm particular paflages, both of 
the melody and bafs; but the general ef- 
fe&t is fo good as to demand our unquala- 
fied applaufe ; and feems to prefage much 
future excellence.

This publication, which has now arrived 
at its one hundred and feventy-third num- 
ber,and will be completed in feventy ieven 
numbers more, continues to preferve the 
reputation with which it ftarted. The fe- 
Jeftions are made with judgment; the 
pages exhibit much neatne{s and correct- 
nefs ; and the inftruments given with the 
work are univerfally approved for the ex- 
cellence of their tones, and for their me- 
chanical foundnefs. 
‘* Stay! O flay, thou lovely Shade!” A ferious 
Glee for three Voices; compofed and dedicated ie 
Dr. Arnold, by B. Jacobs, Organifi of Surry 
Chapel. 18. 6d. Shillern. 
This glee confifts of two movements ; 
the firft isin common time andante, the 
{econd in common time allegro. Inthe 
firft movement, we do not trace any ftrik- 
ing marks of talent, either in the melody 
or expreflion; but the fecond, though 
fomewhat dry, and disfigured with an 
awkward imitation, exhibits confiderable 
ingenuity and contrivance.

“« She lives in the Valley below,” are 
the words which form the burthen to this
