fome few marks of hafty y writing, poffeffes 
fome pleafing and imprefiive airs, and will 
not fail to gratifythofe who are partial to 
natural and fimple melody. In the over- 
ture,which opens with a movement:at once 
bold and light, the Doétor has ingenioufly 
interwoven the air of ‘* The Hardy Sailor 
braves the Ocean,”’ from the Ca/tle of An- 
delufia ; and that of ¢ Come, cheer up my 
Lads,”’ by the late Dr. Boyce, which give 
it a very appropriate and characteriftic ef- 
. fe&. Weare forry to fee this little comic 
effort, which promifed to become a favou- 
site with the public, fo fuddenly and un- 
expectedly laid upon the shelf. 
The Battie of the Nile, a favourite Cantata, with 
an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte. The 
Words by Mrs. Knight. The Mufic compofed, 
and dedicated to Lady Hamilton, by Dr. 
Haydn. 1s. 
Clementi.and Co. late Longman and Brodcrip. 
We have perufed this compofition with 
infinite pleajure: the modulation every 
where befpeaks the great mafter, and the 
expreffion great acutenefs and juftnefs of 
feeling. The introduétory fymphony is 
conceived in a ftyle at once uncommon, 
ftriking, and analogous; and the tranfi- 
tions of harmony, and little cvtermexzi, 
which both relieve and enforce the vocal 
part, are managed with a fkilland profun- 
dity of judgement to which very few befides 
the great author himfelf can pretend. We 
cannot, however, but be of opinion, that 
had the cantata confifted of 2 lefler portion 
of recitative, and a.greater variety of air, 
it would have been equally interefting, 
and at the fame fime more generally at- 
tractive. 
Amufement fr Ladies, confifling of fix Diverti- 
mentos for the Piano-forte, with Accempani- 
ments for a Fixte, Tanzhourine, and Triangle, 
ad libitum. Compofed by G. Nexot. 4s. 
Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
Thefe divertimentos, which are written 
in 2 pleafing familiar ftyle, give us nofaint 
idea of the tafte and manner of Steibelt, 
formerly the tutor, as we learn, of -Mr. 
Nezot. We find, in a preface affixed to 
the work, fome ingenious fuggeitions re- 
{petting the ufe of the pendulum for af- 
certaining the exact degrees of time, as 
implied by the different werds prefixed to 
‘movements. We grant, with Mr. Ne- 
zot, the probable utility of adopting fuch 
Review of New Mufical Publications. | ; 
a guide with beginners, while we alfo al- 
low the merit of the original idea; and 
had Mr. Nezot confeffed his obligation for 
it to a former number of the Monthly Ma- 
gazine, we fhould have acknowledged his 
ingenuoufnels. 
Tivo Sprigs of Myrtle, a fafeionable Duett 
Compofed by W. Howard. 1s. Fentum. 
«<Fwo Sprigs of Myrtle” is a pretty, 
fimple, little duet, and does credit to Mr. 
Howard’s fancy. The parts are difpofed 
with judgment, and the general effect is 
highly attraétive. We have only to with 
that the words would have allowed of an 
additional digreffive ftrain, and a return to 
the original melody, which would have 
afforded a variety, and conferred an im- 
portance, the want.of whichis a drawhacl 
on its merits. 
Haydn’s celebrated Air of ** God fave the Em- 
peror,”’ with Variations adapted for the Piano- 
forte, with Accompaniments for the Violin and 
Violoncello, ad libitume By Muzxio Clementi. 
28: 6d. 
Clementi and Co. late Longman and Broderip. 
Mr. Clementi has added to this fimple 
and popular air four variations, in which 
he has difplayed all that mafterly and ele- 
gant contrivance fo peculiar to his piano- 
forte mufic, and furnifhed to the practi- 
tioner an aooipr owing and gratifying exer- 
cife. 
Mozart's favourite Sonata for the Pians-forte. 
45. Rolfe. 
This is a very neat and correét copy of 
‘one of Mozart’s beft and. moft pleafing 
piano-forte compofitions. It confifts of 
three movements, the firft of which is fan- 
ciful, rich, and florid; the fecend, pathe- 
tically elegant ; and the third, lively and 
animating.

tion of Songs, Duets, Rondos, Airs; 
defied from Mozart, Hayda, Pleyel, Paifiello, 
and other great Mafiers.. 15. Rolfe. 
This tafteful feleGtion of little favourite 
pieces continues to evince the fame fedu- 
lous attention and difcrininating judgment 
which diftinguifhed the former numbers. 
The prefent number comprifes fix pleaf- 
ing and jultly-popular articles.
