Three Sonatinas for the Piano-Forte, compofed 
aud aedicated to Mifs Anna Wilbrabam, by 
Fifiz. . Op. 2... 45. 
Thefe {.natinas are written in a pleafing 
and familiar ftyle. Their great value will 
be found in the improvement they are cal- 
culated to produce in the execution of the 
juvenile finger. The movementsare light, 
perfe&iy unlabeured, and cannot, as we 
theuld judge, fail to attract the ear of 
thofe pra&titioners for whofe progrefs they 
are chiefly, and, indeed, evidently, in- 
tended. 
és DL’ Enfant Gate,” for the Piano- Forte; tom- 
fofed, and injertbed te Mifs Matbew, by H. I. 
De Michele. 4s. 
Mr. Michele has framed, from L’Ex- 
fant Gatéa pleating ard excellent fonata. 
The piece comprifés three movements, 
after which the compofer returns to the 
firft, and concludes with an effe& that 
ftrongly marks his judgment in conduét- 
ing a compofition of this defcription.. All 
the fubjeéts of this piece are agreeable, if 
not friking ; and we venture little in pre- 
dicting its favourable reception.

ts. 6d. 
Of this balled we cannot {peak in terms 
ef great commendation. The melody is 
infipid, and the words are fo far from ex- 
cellence, as to be defeflive even in gram- 
mar. Yetis this feng, altogether, fuch 
as we have often feen rife into very general 
notice, among common practitioners, and 
become the favourite zamby-pamby of the 
day ; the compofer will, therefore, en-

‘© Edwin’s Ghoft,” a Ballad, with an Accom= 
paniment for the Piano-Forte; compofed, and 
dedicated to Mifs Ann and Elizabeth Nieil, 
by F. F. Burrows. - ts. 
«¢ Edwin's Ghoft,” though not remark- 
able for its pathos, or force of effect, is 
fer from deftitute of the commendable 
qualities of eafe and of jutt expreffion. 
The introdu&tcry, and concluding fym- 
phonies are pieafing, and the bafs is not 
felefted without judgment. ‘The poetry 
is natural and affecting, and cannot. fail 
toin'ereft the lovers of fhort fimple tales, 
feelingly told. 
“* Fair Anna,” a Scottifo Ballad, fung by 
Mrs Bland; the Words of Melody by Mr. 
Fobn Rannie. 15. 
«¢ Fair Anna” is a pleafant, plaintive 
little ballad. The melody, though with- 
cut indications of the real mafter, is ealy 
and unaffeéted, and the words are written 
in the ftyle natural to this fpecies of poe- 
try, which, without pretending to much, 
may produce confiderable effect. - 
The favourite Quick March in the Cantata La 
Sorpreja; compofed and arranged for the Pia= 
mo-Forté, by Mr. Rauzsesini. 2&5. 
This quick march, which has been 
performed with great applaufe at the Bath 
Concerts, is particularly caiculated to pro- 
duce a good efiest on the inflrument fer 
which it is here arranged. 
as well as the fubfequent paflages, is no- 
vel, and highly pleafing, and we doubt not. 
but the publication will have many ad- 
mireérs among the higher piano-forte ftu-

‘6 Dear England,” a patriotic Song 3 the Words 
by William Hayley, Efg. the Mufic by Ff.

The melody applied by Mr. Marth to 
the words of this patriotic, and excellently- 
written fong, is fo apprepriate and well- 
conceived, that we cannot but expeét it to 
become popular. The familiarity agd broad- 
nefs of the ftyle is ftrikingly judicious, and 
fets tite judgment and ingenuity of the com- 
pofer in a highly favourable point of view.
