Three Sonatas for the Piano-Forte, with an Ac- 
companiment for a Violin or German Flute, 
compofed ana dedicated ta Mis S. Frodihim, 
by D. Steibelt. 7. 6d. Prefion. 
In thefe fonatas Mr. Steibelt his dif. 
played great taft- of conception, and high 
powers of fitfhing. ‘They are all rich 
in their ftyle, though clear and fimple in 
their effeét; elaborate in their con iruc- 
tion, yet cafy to the finger and familiar 
to the ear. To this concealed labour, 
this artful facility, we profefs ourfelves to 
be pertial; and are forry that it is not 
made a more general object with compo- 
fers. The accompaniment is fo cenftruét- 
ed as to forma great embellithment, and 
dilplays throughout an ingenuity corre- 
fpendent to the merit of the feveral move- 
ments. :

: Rolfe. 
We find in this little ballad much pa- 
thos and expreffion, The familiar, un- 
ftudied fiyle of this mufic accords happily 
with the words, and places the author’s 
judgment, as well as his fancy, in a fa- 
yourable point of view.

The words ot this ballard are from

we cannot fay chat they flow cut of each

Lord Howe's Hornpipe, with variations far the 
’ Piano Forte, with or without additional Keys, 
by T Powell. 1s. 6d. Riley. 
Mr. Powel has applied no lefs thaa 
nine variations to this pleafing hornpipe. 
They are, tor the moft part, progreffive 
in point of execution, and ingenious in 
their conftruction, though we muft, at the 
fame time, cbijerve that in tome few in- 
ftances the pafliges are more congenial 
to the chzracter of the violin than to that 
of the piano forte. Much improvement, 
however, may be derived from their prac- 
tice, and, we therefore recommend them to 
young performers.

been embraced by this ingenious mufician

6 The Pleafurcs of Refle&ion,’ a Ballad, with 
an Accompaniment for the Harp or Pianoe 
Forte. 1s. Fentume 
‘© The Pleafures of Reflc&tion” is a 
ballad above mediocrity, both in air and 
expreffion. Had the arpeggio ftyle of the 
bafs been fomewhat more broken, the ef. 
fest would have been more diverfified and 
attractive ; but the general goodnels of the 
compofition is fuficicnt to recommend it 
with all lovers of pleafing and familiar 
mufic. 
$¢ Village Love,” a Ballad, with an Accompae 
nimeut for the Harp or Piano-Forte. 18. 
Fentum. 
We find a very pleafing aflemblace of 
paflages inthis little ballad. The melody 
is altogether rural and charaéteriitic, and 
the harp accompaniment is conttructedwith 
judgment. 
Two Sonnets in the manner of Arioflo and Metaf-

Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
Thefe fonnets are preceded by a fhore 
introductory fymphony, in which we find 
much fuccefSful effort at expreffion. The 
firit ftrain (an Addrefs to Anna) is imple 
in its melody, and conveys the ‘en’e of the 
author with much ttrength of cffe. The 
fecond (to Emma) is fmooth and pleafing, 
and exhibits Mr. Powell’s taite and judg- 
ment to great advantage. The cantata, 
or «* The Lammas-tide Wedding of Kitty 
and Harry,” -comprifes a recitative air 
and duett, in each qf which we difcover
