Thefe fongs, though written in a loofe 
_carelefs ityle, exhibit “fome marks of ge- 
nuine humour, and the mufic is in general 
by no means unappropriate. The fabjects 
are Rigmarole, Quack! Quack! Quack!

Yhree Indian Rondos for the Piano-forte. The 
_ Subjes taken from fome of the moft favourite 
Airs of Hindoftan, Compofed by M.P. King. 35. 
Goulding and Co. 
Thefe airs, though not marked by that 
ftrong and diftinét national character, 
which we naturally expected from the ule 
Mr. King has here made of them, contain 
fome curious and novel paflages, and form 
no ineligible themes for piano-forte rondos. 
The editor's minore digreflion to ** munni 
bibbi nocharee’’ is ingenious and analogous, 
as allo his majore to ‘* dill ne danne leca 
re.’ The running paflages introduced 
in “ piar mera foon” are of a pleafing calt, 
but not equally appropriate. 
$* Dainty Dewy,” a favourite Air, arranged as 
a Rondo for the Prano-forte, by T. H. Butler, 
1s. 6d. Goulding and Co. 
Mr. Butler has arranged this air with a 
confiderable degree of tafte. The intro- 
ductory movement, in three quavers, az- 
| @ dante exprefivo, is pleafingly conceived, 
both in the bafs and general difpofition of 
- the melody ; and the modulation, though 
in fome places rather abrupt, is bold in its 
effect, and ony’ a refpectable degree of 
{cience. "j

York. 35. Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaines 
Though we mut allow’ fome traits:.of 
genius in this fonata, we can by no means, 
recommend it as a farft-rate produétion. 
The paflages are tolerably regular; and 
. frequently rife naturally out of each other ; H 
but they. are, forthe moft part, common- 
place, and in this fubjeét no rhythm is pre- 
ferved. The variegated matter, added. to 
the air, befpeaks fome fancy, efpecially in 
the minore ftrain; and the coda. is calcu- 
lated to clofe.the piece with good effect. 
¢ The Oak of our Fathers,” 
a favourite Song, 
written by Mr. Sautbey. 
Is. Prefions 
The greateft merit -of ;this fong is its 
fimplicity. We muft, however, oblierve 
that it is deftitute of modulation, and con- 
fequently monotonots in its general effect. 
The air is preceded by a chorus; which is 
meant to follow each of the othe: verfes, 
and is calculated to heighten the general 
charaéter of the compofition.

The 
triple notes given to the demonftrative

among the improprieties to which we par- 
ticularly allude, and which weaken the 
intereft of the melody, and produce a lan- 
guid and puerile effect.
