Three grand Sonatas for the Piano-forte, with an 
Accompaniment for a Violin. Compofed and de- 
dicated to Mrs. Sfoba Hunter, by Richard 
Coningeorth. 3s. 
Thete fonatas are of fo much promife 
that we cannot but the more lament the 
recent death of the ingenious compofer. 
All the firft movements are bold, ener- 
getic, and very original; and the fucceed- 
ing movements are taftefully and judi- 
cloufly wrought from the old popular airs 
of * Cory .Owen,” ‘* David Hunter 
Blair's Reel,”’ and ‘* My Lodging is on 
the Cold Ground.”” The digreflive mat- 
ter, both to the original and borrowed fub- 
jeét, is introduced with confiderable art ; 
and the general effect is highly creditable 
to thofe talenrs from which under further 
cultivation, had it pleafed Heaven to fpare 
them, we fhould have expefied much. 
“‘ Fally Roy.” A Scuttifh Ballad, fung by Mr. 
Jucledon, in his Entertainment called Tue 
WANDERING Metopist. The words 
by Mr. Rannie. Ibe mufic by W. Shield, 
Eg. Is. 
Mr. Shield has acquitted himfelf in this 
little ballad with his ufual addrefs. A 
ftriking and charaéteriftic melody is ex- 
prefled in a few touching and affe&tive 
notes; and the fenfe of Mr. Rannie’s 
words is conveyed by the mufic, with a 
delicacy and pathos worthy the flyle in 
which they are written. 
*¢ The Village Bells.” Sung by Mrs. Bland, at 
Vauxbail Gardense Compofed by Mr. T. 
Welfh. Iss. 
This ballad fpeaks canfiderable genius . 
and fancy. The fubject of the words is 
at once engagingly and appropriaicly 
treated, ard the pafiage imitative of the 
bells, which clofes each verfe, deviates as

[ Aug. I, 
miuch as the circumftance would admit,

Three Solos for the German Flute, with a figured 
Bafs for the Piano-forte or Violoncello. In 
which are introduced the popular Airs, with 
Variations, Rule Britannia, Sir David Hun- 
ter Blair’s Reel, and The Chartreufe, arranged 
and Dedicated to W. Shield, Efg. by W. F. 
Parke. $s. 
Thefe folos are ingenioufly confiruéted 
and arranged. We find in the original 
parts of the work much difplay of fancy, 
and in the embellifhments of the compiled 
airs a confiderably cultivated tafte. The 
whole is fkilfully adapted to the piano- 
forte; and the violoncello accompaniment 
is calculated to improve the general effect. 
Sonata for the Piano-forte, with an Accompani- 
ment for a Violin Obligato. Compojed by ‘fo- 
Jeph Reinagle, 25. 6d. 
This pleafing fonata is comprifed in 
two movements, in which Mr. Reinagle’s 
tafte and judgment-are difplayed to much 
advantaye. The fubjeét of the firft move- 
ment is bold, novel, and ftriking ; and 
that of the fecond fprightly and attractive. 
The whole piece, though varied in its ef- 
fe&t, pofiefles a unity of charaéter, and 
forms one of the moft agreeable exercifes 
for the infrument for which it is written 
that has for fome time come under our 
notice. 
“© Bofide the Green Wille.” A favourite Bal- 
lad, written by Mr. Rannie. Compsfed, with 
an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte, and 
Dedicated to Mrs, Burton, by Fobn Whitaker. 
Ts. 
Mr. Whitaker has difplayed in this 
little cempofition great prettinefs of fancy, 
and much of the true ballad tafte. The 
paflage at ‘¢ ° Twas there in the foul’s bit- 
ter anguifh” is remarkably pleafing, and 
the return to the fubject at “©” Twas there 
that I fled while I fank heavy-hearted”’ is 
managed with fingular eale and addrefs.

«< Charming Chloe” is one of thofe 
pleafant baliads, which become popular 
by their poffeifing character, eafe and fas 
miliarity. Tes burden of “¢ In life’s ca~ 
reer’’ is happily and appropriately con- 
ceived ;
