for the juvenile learner. The old airs, 
worked into interesting and engaging 
movements, form a oe te relief to the

recommend the publication to the gene- 
ral notice of piano-forte students.

tour, Pianiste to the Prinee of Wales. 25. 6d. 
‘In these variations Mr. Latour has 
displayed much taste and fancy. The

other very aptly and naturally.

Traits of a pleasing imagination, and 
cultivated judgment pervade these can- 
zonettos, the melodies of which have the 
merit of “being novel as well as agreeable. 
The passages are, indeed, seldom com} 
mon- place, and -are every where natural 
and connected. The accompaniment is 
arranged with taste and calculated to 
heighten the general effect.

the Marquis Du Fuboy, ed set to. Music by 
Febn Ross, Esq. of Aberdeen. 1s. 6d. 
Fhe melody Mr. Ross has apphed to 
these affecting words, is naturally and 
tmpressively conceived, and does honour 
both to his talentand to bis feeling. The 
sentiment and simplicity of the music 
mo pace with the unaffected pathos of

be listened to by real judges without 
much pleasure and interest,

respecting what we are to look for in the 
future numbers. ‘The subject of the pre- 
sent rondo 1s pleasingly imagined; and in 
the digressive matter, the author ‘does not 
run into the too common error of losing 
sight of his theme.

Esq. rhe Music by TI. Attwood, Esq. 1s. 6d. 
These words, the poctry and sentiment 
of which do so much credit to the taste 
and imagination of this author, have been 
feelingly set to music by Mr. Attwood,

the middle and inferior parts. The effect 
of the combination is good, and does cre- 
dit to his ingenuity and Judgment 
_ Messrs. Page and Sexton’s Selection of 
Sacred Music from Handel’s Anthems 
has now arrived at its seventh Number, 
and will form: no inconsiderable acquisi- 
tion to the library of classical professors 
In the proportion of the 
work which has already appeared we find 
several of those excellent pieces whick 
were composed expressly for the late 
Duke of Chandos, and which. have al- 
ways ranked among the best effusions of 
Handel’s genius. 
Messrs. Wilkinson and Company are 
offering to the public a New, Patent, Ca- 
binet Piano-forte, with the advantages of 
which we have been particularly struck. 
The form is as curious as conveniént, ” 
exhibiting a kind of demi-grand upright 
piano, elegant i in its appearance, and not 
occupy ying more room than the smallest=— 
sized bookcase. The tone is at once 
brilliant and delicate, and the touch pe- 
culiarly facile and pleasant; while the” 
strength and simpheity of the whole con- 
struction tends to ensure its keeping iv” 
tune longer than most other instruments,
