en Mr. Pinto’s late publications fer the 
iano-forte; and the prefent fonata comes 
b much under the fame general defcrip- 
tion, that a few words wiil fuffice for its 
merits and character. We fhall, there- 
fore, only fay, that we trace the fame un- 
equivocal marks of a ftrong natural fancy 
running wild; an unintelligible extrava- 
gance of modulation, and an affected and 
diftorted combination of rotes. ‘Lhefe 
ebfervations are net, however, meant to 
difcourage Mr. Pinto’s iuture efforts, but 
to enable him to give a more natural, 
fimple, and fair difplay of that genius for 
which we have already allowed him fuch 
xtenfive credit; and which, under proper 
correction, cannot fail to render him as 
diftinguifhed in compofition as he has 
Jong been in performance. 
May-Dey, a favourite Duett. Compofed by the 
late Mr. F. Danby. 15. 6d. 
This duett is comprized in two move- 
ments; the firft, in two crotchets, alle. 
grette, and the fecond in fix quavers, vi- 
wace. The prevailing feature in this 
compofition is Amplicity: The paffages 
are every where fuch as would arife in an 
ingenious mind from reading the words, 
and the par’s move together with an eale 
and {moothnefs which cannot but produce 
an excellent and interefting effect. As 
admirers of this kind of mufie, we hope 
the publifher, Mr. Riley, is in poffeffion 
ef other manuicripts of this admired com- 
pofer; and that he means fpeedily to 
eommit them to the prels.

' "Phe opening of this fong is charae- 
terifed by a boldneis of idea perfectly ana- 
Iagous to the fubject of the worus ; and 
the fucceeding paflages, though not quite

“€ The Sea. Boy on the Giddy Maft,” az admired 
Sing, fung by Mr. Incledon im ** the Wander- 
ing. Melodift.” Written by W. Pearce, Efq. 
Cowpofed by Fobn Woircker. 15. 6d. 
Mr. Whuieker bas given to the * Sea- 
Boy”’ a bold and characteriftic melody. 
It is, however, in fome inftances, falfely 
phrazed ; particularly at the line ‘No 
more for me fhall be unfurled” in which 
a period, or clofe, is introduced in the 
middle of the fenfe, and disjoins the mem- 
bers of a fentence naturally infeparable, 
The bafs, though fl ght, is net ill chofen, 
and the piano-forte accompaniment is cal- 
culated to heighten the intended effect. 
The Loyalifi, written by a Friend to the Kingy 
Country, and Confritution. 4s. 
The author of the words of this fong, 
which are adapted to an old and popular 
tune, has, in a re{pectable degree, blended 
the fpirit of poetry with that of loyalty. 
There are five verles; in which the poet 
glances at the efforts of the late Pretender, 
the gallantry of William the Third, and 
the perfidy of Gallic politics ; and, cen- 
cludes wich a well-tu:med compliment to 
the patrictic reion and unvaried good 
faith of the prefent Britifh monarch. 
A favourite Duett for Two Violencellos. Cem- 
pofed and infcribed to Fobn Marfh, Efq. by 
W. Prince. 25. Ode 
This duett is.conceived with tafte, and 
its parts are combined with judgment. 
Of its originality we cannot {peak in coms 
plimentary terms: the paflages, however, 
rife out of each other with an eale and 
nature that {peak rcfpectable talents, and 
confiderable intelligence, as well Gn the 
general laws of compofition as in the? 
powers, compafs, and character of that 
rich, manly, and mellow-toned inilru- 
ment, the bafloon. 
6 Dear Ladies, with bumble Submiffian ¥ crave.” 
Sung at Vauxkball Gardens, 
Compojed by Mr. Cope. 1s. _ 
This fong is of that airy defcription 
fuitable to the place for which it was 
compoied, and affords an agreeable fpe-~ 
cimen of Mr. Cope’s fancy in ballad 
mufic. Of the words we cannot fpeak 
very highly. The ideas are ccommon- 
place, and the expreffions are not turned 
with that neatnets and delicacy requifite 
toa good itylein this {pecies of poetry. —
