Air, with Variations for the Piano- Forte, coyt« 
pofed by L. Von Beethouen. as. 6d. 
The air here adapted for the piano- 
forte is that of “¢ The Manly Heart,” by 
Mozart, to which Mr. Beethoven has 
added accompaniments for the violin and 
violoncello, highly calculated to improve 
the general effect of his excellent varia- 
tions. We find in this produgtion much 
of the man of tafte, as well as of the real) 
matter ; and thirk that thofe prafticioners 
who have already fubdued*the principal 
difficulties in exccution, will derive both 
pleafure and profit from their perfor-

Piano- Forte or Harp 3 compofed, and dedi- 
cated to the Right Hon. Lady Glenbervie, by 
Fobn Rofs, Efg. of Aberdeen. 8s. i 
We find in the meledy of thele canzo-

while ¢he accompaniment is adjufted with 
judgment, and befpeaks no inconfiderable 
knowledge in efec?. In many places the 
expreflion is particularly -happy, and in
