Camp; and the air, ‘* What Pleafure paft 
expreffing,” fung by Mr. Kelly, are 
elegant and florid, while feveral other 
attractive objeéts prefent themfelves to the 
tafteful and cultivated ear. We are glad 
to fee fuch talents as Mr. Mazzinghi’s 
re-affume their dramatic occupation, and 
hope thofe men of {cience and original 
genius, who really merit the name of 
compofers, will not withdraw their pow- 
erful aid from the mimic fcene. 
A Favourite March and Quick Step, for a 
Military Band and the Pians-forte. Compofed 
iand dedicated to Thomas Burne, Efg. Major, 
and the Officers and Members of the Divifion 
of St. Mary, Newington, Surrey, by Fulian 
Buby, Son of Doétor Bufby. ts. 64. Op. 1. 
This March, the core of which includes 
parts for two flutes, two trumpets, a 
drum, two horns, two clarinets, two 
baffoons and a ferpent, forms a produc- 
tion fo much above the years of the 
composer, who we underftand is not quite 
thirteen, that we cculd not perule it 
without the higheft admiration of fuch 
juvenile talent and fcience. The com- 
binations is every where correét ; and the 
fubje&t matter is fo ealy and attractive in 
its ftyle, that the young piano-forte ftu- 
dent, will, we are confident, be as much 
delighted as improved by its practice. 
Three Sonatas for the Piano-forte, with an Ae- 
scmpaniment for the German Flute, ad Libitum, 
in which are introduced an Original Paforal 
and Fandango. Compofed and dedicated to bis’ 
Friend Mr. L. Von Efch, by 7. Maguie, 
Fos. 62. 
Thefe Sonatas are compofed with con- 
fiderable tate: fome of the movements 
are marked with originality, efpecially 
the Pattorale and Fandango, and the 
general effet befpeaks a degree of mative 
genius which further experience will toon 
render ornamental te the profeffion in 
which it is difplayed. We cannot dif- 
mifs this article without noticing the 
elegant ftyle in which it is prefented to 
the public. The Frontifpiece is charm- 
ingly conceived and delicately executed ; 
and every page of the mufic exhibits 
fpecimens of the neateft and meft beauti‘ul 
engravings we have ever f.en. 
Three Canzonetts with an Accompaniment for the 
Piano-forte. Compofed and dedicated to Wm. 
Stield, Efq. by W. Ling. 58. 
Mr. Ling has evidently beffowed much 
Jabour on thefe Canzonetts; they are 
throughout {cientifically correct, and the 
expreflion is juft and forcible. Had

“¢ We Hail Thee, Mirth,” A Ciearful Glee fir 
Three Voices, as fung at the Ge Club, by 
Mef[rs. Knyvetts and Sale. Written and 
compofed by M. P. King. 1s. 6d. 
This Glee, which is publifhed with ar 
accompaniment for the Piano-forte, is 
conceived with fpirit ; and the parts are’ 
conftruéted with ingenuity and fcience. 
- Fhe holding-note in the da/s on the fifth 
of the key produces an excellent effect, 
and its refponfe in the alte part does 
credit to the contrivance of ‘the com- 
pofer. & 
Eighteen Waltzes, one Quadzilie, and one Allee 
mande, for the Piano-forte.  Compofed for 
Her Imperial Majefty, the Emprefs of Ruffia, 
by Henry Baron de Bode, and dedicated to 
f. L. Parker, Efg. by L. Lawenu. 35. 
The Baron de Bode has evinced confi- 
derable tafte in thefe little compofitions, 
We do not know that they have to boalft 
any ftriking marks of originality; they 
are, however, eafy and natural in their 
ftyle, and, generally confidered, too far 
above mediocrity, not to pleafe that clafs 
of Piano-forte practitioners for whofe ufe 
they are chiefly defigned. 
AA Grand Sonata for the Piano-forte; with sr 
without the additional Keys. Compofed and 
dedicated to Mifs Head, by Wilham Fifo. 
3s. Op. 1. 
Mr. Fifth has produced in this Sonata 
a compofition of much fprightlinels and 
fpirit. As a firft publication ts does cre- 
dit both to the talents and judgment of 
its author, and promifes great future ex- 
cellence. Some little awkwardneffes of 
eonftruction occur in the firft movement 
and we were forry to find in the la 
movement fo palpable a refemblance of 
the opening of Nicolai’s popular fo-
