REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
Zhree admired Rondos, Le Debat, Le Depit A- 
moureux, and La Reconciliation, for the Piano- 
forte. Compojtd and dedicated to Madame 
Recamier, by G. Nezot. 35. 6d. 
HESE Rondos form three highly- 
agreeable exercifes for the piano- 
forte; but why Mr. Nezot has baptized 
them by the above names we are at a lofs 
to conceive. The firft inftance of this 
whimfical denomimation to inftrumental 
productions will be fond m the old harp- 
fichord leffons of Burton, an Enghth maf. . 
ter who flourifhed about forty years fince : 
we allude to his piece called the Comrt- 
thip, which, like theprefent compohitions, 
mignt as weil have been diftinguifhed by 
any other name as by that he gave to it : 
and which, by appearing without any, 
would have evinced the coimpolfer’s genius 
without difplaying his folly. 
Twelve of Mr. Hook's moft popular Songs, 
adapted for a Military Band, by F. Parry, 
MM. Ds Be 408. 6d. 
: Thefe adaptations do much credit to Mr, 
‘Parry, as a caterer for the numerous. mili- 
tary bands, now compleated ; and by 
whom they will be found extremely ufe- 
ful. The airs fclected are thofe of ‘* Lif- 
tén tothe Voice of Love,” ‘* Lucy Gray,” 
“¢ Tarry a while,** *¢ Swect Kathlane Mc 
Cree, © Fhe-Match Boy,.. * The Cae 
Iedonian Laddy,”* ‘¢ The Linnet,”* “The 
Cottager’s Daughter,” ‘* She Jiyes in the 
Valley below,” ‘* The Turtle Dove,” «I 
never Lov’d any, Dear Mary, but You,” 
and ** A Soldier for Me,” miking twelve 
tn number, and forming a pleafing as well - 
as animating colle&tion of little military 
Pieces. The inftruments for which they 
_ dre adapted are the Oboe, (1ft. and 2d.) 
flute, (ift and 2d.) horn, (sf. and 2d.) 
a baffuon, and a ferpent. 
& Fourth Senata for the Piano-forte. 
. by T. H. Butler. 25. 
This fonata, in which Mr. Butler has 
introduced the favourite Scotch airs of 
Lochaber and Duncan Gray, poffefits 
Compojed 
much evidence of fpirit as well as of — 
tafte. The Scott:fh melodies are ever en- 
gaging ; but, perhaps, are never heard 
with more felicity of effect than when.con- 
tralted with thofe of other countries ; and 
when furming a part of a whole which 
feeks its attraction in variety, 
The-Polunteer. A Song fung by Mr. Dignum, 
at the Theatre Royal Oe Britten 
and dedicated to the Bloomfbury and Inn;-of- 
Court Aljociation, by a Member of the 
Corps. 
The Volunteer, confidering the awk- 
ward rhythm of the old tune to which 
the author has been obliged to conform 
the meafure of his words, is written with: 
much ingenutty. The truth, force, ard: 
patriotic humour of the ideas are too 
promivent to need the apology the writer 
might claim from the faudability of his 
fubjc& ; and the tume he has fele&ted is 
too appropriate to impeach his judgment 
in vocal effeét. 
Three Duetts for the Piano forte, arranged from 
favourite Songtas, compofed by F. Maz 
winghi: Bs. 
Thefe Ductts difplay much of that 
tafte and poliff found in moft of Mr. Maz- 
zinghi’s inftrumental produétions. Tne 
parts are every where combind with 
ference and with judgment, and the gene- 
ral effect is at once creditable to the com- 
poler’s imagination and his theoretical 
knowledge. $ 
Two admired Airs. Compofed with Variations 
fer the Prano-forte, and aedicated to Mifs A. 
Cummings gltyre , by Febr Ros, of Aberdece. 
35. - 
Mr. Rofs has acquitted himfelf in the 
prefent variations with hisaccuftomed tafe 
and addrefs. Praditioncrs- in the inftru- 
ment for which tney are defigned will find 
them both pleafing and improving. The 
digreflive matter is highly judicious, and 
demands our particular notice, as refleét- 
ing mech honor on the compofer’s faney 
and invention. '
