REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
Te 
44 Sonata for the Pianc forte, dedicated to the 
Queen. Composed for the Piano-forte by Pio 
Cianchettini. 3s. 
F this sonata is really composed by. 
the reputed author, Pio Cianchettini, 
a child only six years old, we cannot buat 
announce it as offering a most extraordi- 
nary instance of mental prematurity. We 
shall astonish our readers in saying, that 
it is not only free from puerilities, but pos- 
sesses many passages that would not dis- 
grace the pages of some well-noticed com- 
posers of the presentday. The infantile 
author is styled Mozart Britannicus. 
We subscribe to the illustrious appella- 
tion; not doubting, should his diligence 
keep pace with his genius, that some fu- 
ture prodigy will be equally proud to be 
surnamed Ciancheltini. 
A favourite Concerto for the Piano-forte, with 
Accompaniments for two Violins, Flute, twe 
Horns and Bass, in which is introduced the ad- 
mired Air of Lewie Gordon. Composed and 
dedicated to Lady Frances Elizabeth Somerset, 
by Robert Broderip. 6s. 
Mr. Broderip has displayed in this con- 
certo a pleasing fancy, and cultivated 
taste. The passages succeed each other 
easily and naturally, and the movements 
afford, by their variety, a rehef to the 
ear which cannot but recommend the 
composition to the favourable notice of 
plano-furte practitioners, = * © 
6* My Laddie is gone far away a favourite 
Scotch Air, harmonized for four Voices; by 
William Knyvett. Qs. 
The harmonization of this air, which 
has been highly applauded at Messrs. 
Knyvett’s annual concerts, does) much 
credit to the taste and judgment of Mr. 
William Knyvett. The parts are so com- 
bined and distributed as to produce a 
striking effect, and to evince considerable 
familiarity with this species of vocal com- 
position, 
Numbers 2,5 ,4 and 5, of a Collection of Haydn, 
Mczart, and Beethoven's Symphonies, in Score. 
Each Number, to Subscribers, 5s. to Non-sub- 
cribers, 8s. 
This work, two numbers of whichap- 
pear every month, proceeds with the same 
eclat with which it started; and, from 
its neatness and correctness, cannot fail 
to form a useful and valuable body of 
Symphonic music, and to do great credit 
to the judgment, spirit and liberality of 
the publishers, Messrs. Cianchettini and 
Sperati. 
Monturty Masc., No. 164. 
Two Duetts for two Performers on the Piano 
forte; taken from the favourite Airs in the 
Ballett of Lia Dansomanie. Composed and are 
ranged by T. Latour. 4s, 
These duetts are arranged with taste 
and ingenuity, and will be found both 
pleasing and improving to young practi- 
tioners. The movements are light in 
their style, and easy of execution, and 
greatly ealculated to flatter the general 
taste. 
<¢ A Knight there came from the Field of Slain;? 
aglee for four Voices. Composed and ar- 
ranged, with an Accompaniment for the Piano= 
forte, by T. Cooke. 3s. 
This glee is upon the plan of Dr. Cal- 
cott’s “ Red-cross Knight,” and though 
not qualified to rival that excellent pro- 
duction, is yet entitled to our commenda- 
tion. The melody and distribution of 
the harmonious parts are greatly above 
mediocrity; and the composition, if well 
performed, wilt not fail to gratify the ju- 
dicious auditor. 
Four favourite Airs, arranged for the Harp, and 
dedicated to the Honourable Mrs. Fane. by S. 
Dussek. 2s. 6d. 
The four airs here arranged are Dus 
randarte & Belerma,Grammachree Molly, 
Coolun, and God save the Emperor. The 
digressive passages and embellishments 
are conceived with taste, and the whole 
forms an elegant and pleasing assem- 
blage of harp-exercises. 
Madame Catalani*s celebrated Air, ** Nel cor 
pu non mi sento,” with Variations in the 
Grotesque Style. Composed by F. Maxzinghi. 
Esq. 1s. 6d. 
_ The taste and ingenuity of these vari- 
ations will form for them no inconsider- 
able recommendation with judges of good 
piane-forte music. Well-wishers, how- 
ever, as we are toreal merit, we yet can- 
not entirely approve the idea of writing 
passages for execution by one finger only ; 
and caunot but express our hope not to 
see the example followed. 
‘© At Summer's Eve,” a Song from Campbell's 
Pleasures of Hope, as sung by Mrs. Vaughan 
ai Dr. Smiths Concert. Composed by Dr. Cal- 
cott. 
We find in this song both science and 
fancy, ‘The melody is pleasingly con- 
ceived, and the bass and accompaniments 
are busy and eilectrve. The composition 
is throughout truly ingenious, and it every 
where exhibits the real master.
