s90 
happily fancied. while the movements 
themfelves are fo judicioufly contralted as 
to derive much additional effe&t from their 
relative fituations. The paflages in general 
are well difpofed for the hand ; and greatly 
admit of that facile and playful execution 
which delights both the cultivated and 
uncultivated ear. 
Two Favourite Welfo Airs, Nds Galan, and Ar 
Hyd Y Nés, with Variations for the Piano- 
forte; compofed and refpetifully inferibed to 
MMifs Mackenzie, by A. T. Gorfe. 35. 
Thefe old Welth airs are well calculat- 
ed for the purpofe to which Mr. Corfe has 
here converted them; and the judgment 
difplayed in his choice, is weil feconded 
by the tafte and fancy exhibited in the 
variations and embellifhments. Tlie ex- 
ercife of both hands has been attended to; 
and we think the publication will be found 
valuable by thofe who feck the readiclt 
means of manual improvement. 
Six Divertiments for two Violins; compofed, 
and dedicated to Edward Dickenfon, Ejg. by 
F. Yaniewicz. 6s. 
Mr. Yaniewicz, in order to give popu- 
larity to thefe divertiments, has introduced 
into. each fome well known and admired 
airs ; among the feletions of his tafte we 
find ‘Mama mia;”’ “*Ametethe le belle ;”° 
“< Little Pegsy’s Love;”” and ‘*The Cale- 
donian Beauty.’? The paflages are moftly 
attractive; and the combinations of the 
two parts are fo higly ingenious, as to re- 
ficct much credit on the author’s judg- 
ment and experience in this caft of inftru- 
mental compofition. 
Elegy on the Death of the Duke D° Enghien, 
written by a Lady of Fafhion ; compofed, with 
an Accompanniment for the Piano-forte, by I. 
D. Winter. 1s. 6d. 
We find in this elegy fome pleafing, 
appropriate, and affe&ting paflages. The 
accent, we are, however, obliged to obferve, 
is not uniformly correét. In the word 
illuftrations, aud in all fimilarly-formed 
derivatives, the two latter fyllables are, in 
poetry, confidered but as one; a rule to 
which the author of the prefent lines has 
friGtly adhered, but which the compofer has 
fometimes neglected ; and, in the word Eu- 
rope, the fecond fyllable is unfortunately 
given to anaccented note. Much praife is 
{till due to the general merit of the com- 
pofition, and we do not doubt its meeting 
a favourable reception. 
La Colombe Reperdue , an Air for the Piano-fortes 
with or without additional Keys ; compofed and 
dedicated to Mifs H. C. by F. Mugnie. 15 6d. 
Mr. Mugnié has formed, from this 
pieafing air, an excellent and ufeful exer- 
Review of New Mufical Publications. 
[July 1, 
cife for the piano-forte: Many of the 
pafflages are happily calculated for the 
improvement of the finger; and the union 
of the digreflive with the original matter 
befpeaks much tafte in arrangement. 
A Divertimento for the Pians-forte or Pedal-harp} 
compojed by M. A. Bryan. 25. 6d. 
This divertimento comprizes a march, 
macfiofo, a pattorale, andantino ; a canta- 
bile movement in common time; and a 
rondo, wivdce, in fix quavers. A diver- 
fity of effect is of eourfe produced, and we 
may certainly add a diverfity of talent; for 
the ideas areas pleafing as they are various; 
and the light and fhade diftributed through 
the whole, evince great knowlege of effect, 
and a judgment well matured by ftudy. 
‘6 Lady Mary Douglafs,” a favourite Scotch Air 5 
arranged asa Rondo for the Piano forte, by 
Lf, Powell 25. j 
Mr. Powell, whofe Piano-forte produc- 
tions have frequently- claimed our favour- - 
able notice, has rendered ‘* Lady Mary 
Douglafs”’ an attractive and profitable ex- 
ercife. The play he has given to his- 
fancy, in the digreflive matter, does him 
confiderable credit; while the {cience dif- . 
coverable in the harmony and modulation, 
cannot but add to his repute, asa ftudious 
and well-informed mufician. 
‘¢ Where the Place,” a Continuation of the favou- 
rite Glee of the Witches, taken from tke fh 
Scene of Macbeth ; and fet to Mujic by M. Ps 
King. 25.64. - 
Mr. King, we muft confels, has afforded 
us fairer opportunities of ufing the lan- 
guage of commendation than any we find in 
his prefent production. We by no means 
deny merit to his glee; but it is of that 
limitation which would little fanétion any 
extraordinary praife; and of that kind, 
which we fear will but faintly attract the 
generality of hearers. In a word, the 
paflages are, for the moft part, quaint and 
crampt, and the diftribution of the parts 
injudicioufly managed; from which pro- 
ceeds, a confequent meagrenefs and po- 
verty of effect. 
‘© Merrily danced the Quaker’s Wife,” a Scottifh 
Dance; arranged as a Rondo for the Piano-fortey 
by Mr. Davy. Is 
Mr. Davy has obliged the public with 
feveral fpecimens of his abilities in the 
ufeful art of arrangement; particularly in 
Sennies Bawbee and Dr. Bulby’s Pas Seul 
in the Tale of Myftery ; but in no inftance 
has he better fucceeded than in the pre- 
fent. The paffages are, remarkably plea- 
fant and familiar ; yet, with their eafe, is 
mixed a charaéter of originality, and a 
happy
