tion, as a compofer of inftrumental mu- 
fic. Much ingenuity, and a confiderable 
polifh of mufical tafte, difcover fhem- 
felves in moft of the movements, while, 
in every part, we trace the correétnefs of 
2 real matter. The’ firt fonata opens 
with a movement in § alezretio legato, in 
which much brilliancy a effeét is pro- 
duced.’ We particularly adinire the di- 
greffion to the fifth of the key minor, 
and the graceful manner in which the 
author regains his original key. The 
¥econd movement is ftrikingly elegant, 
and poffeffes much of the canfabile. “The 
third, 2 poloncife allegro, is {pirited and 
expreflive. Tn the firft movement of the 
fecond piece, we find many bold and 
matterly  paflages ; while the fecond move- 
ment ig an elegant cant tabile; and the 
third, which is formed from Caro’s horn- 
pipe, is fo elaborately ‘worked as toaffume 
an importance juftly fuired to-irs prefent 
fituation. The third fonata commences 
in a ftyle remarkably animated, and 1s 
purfued with great variety and ftrength 
of fancy. The fecond movement confifts 
of an. air in imitation of the Scotch, 
which is conceived with much elegance 
and delicacy, and the digreffions, which, 
are given by way of variations, are con- 
duéted with great art. The concluding 
movement contifts of «* What.a Beau my 
Granny was?” This air, which, indeed, 
forms the burthen of the mov ement, to- 
gether with the ingenious and {cient fic 
tranfitions with which Mr. Camidge has 
enriched it, produces an effeét altogether 
worthy of the general excellence of the 
publication.

When the progreis of the juvenile

fefled opjeét of an author, under what. 
ever form he makes the attempt, the un- 
dertaking is too laudable at ieaft, not to 
merit eandid attention. In the prefent 
inftance, we fhajl alfo beftow our tribute

have originated in Dr. Arnold’s “ Ju-

Mr. Bemetzrieder’s Minuet, Allemande, Or-

he minuet, with which this work 
commences, is given in a fcore for two 
French horns, two clarionets, a baffoon, 
a violin, and violincello, the two latter of 
which form a. plano-forte part. The 
treble contains forae degree of melody, 
but in a ftyle that is ftiffand out of date. 
The allemand is in fcore, and is pleafing- 
ly conceived. The fextuor and fugue 
are ingenioufly conftruéted, and enriched 
with fome portion of art: they often 
fail, however, in open perfpicuity of 
defign.

There is a peculiar caft of charaéter

lead the ear back to the key of the fong,
