Al Duet for the Harp and Piano-Forte. Com- 
posed and dedicated to Miss Sarah Catherine, 
and Miss Urania Careline Ward. By Francis 
Panurmo. 4s 
Mr. Panormo has exhibited in this duet 
. considerable talents for harp and piano- 
forte composition. ‘The passages are not 
only flowing to the ear, but are conve- 
niently disposed for the hand, while the 
parts are so adjusted as to blend with 
admirable effect. The piece comprises 
four movements; and the variety and 
relief they produce, greatly add to its 
general attraction. 
*¢ Guld Robin Gray,” a favorite Scotch Air, as 
sung by Miss Parke, Messrs. Harrison, W. 
Knyvett, and Sale, jun. Harmonized for 
Four Voices by W. Knyvett. 25.° 
We have scrutinized the adjustment of 
this harmonization ‘ Auld Robin Gray,” 
with much pleasure. A smoothness and 
a melody is preserved through the several 
parts that not only argue considerable 
natural taste, but prove a familiarity 
with the formation of barmonical con- 
‘struction, highly creditable to Mr. kny- 
vett’s ingenuity and science. 
Trois Duos pour Deux Violoncellos. Compos& et 
dédiés a@ son Ami Frederick Rousseau par 
Barnard Romberg. 8s. 
We have perused these ducts not 
without pleasure, though we cannot say 
with the greatest warnith of admiration. 
The ideas are, for the most part, rather 
eommon-place, and the combination ts 
not always conducted with that contri- 
vance and mastery so necessary to this 
species of composition. The general 
etfect is, however, attractive and conci- 
hiating, and bespeaks much future ex- 
cellence. |

This divertimento, in which Mr. Cra-

id Fifth Troop March. Inscribed to the Eart 
of Hardwicke. Composed by S. Suest, of 
Wisbech. Ss. 
-This troop is published in score for 
clarinets, flutes, horns, trumpet, bassoons, 
~ serpent, side drums, and bass drum, with 
an adaption for the piano-forte. The 
style is spirited and truly martial, and 
the combination of the various instru- 
ments proves science, and a judgment cul- 
tivated by much observation of effect. 
The piano-forte part is judiciously ar- 
ranged, and calculated to promote the 
circulation of the piece.

“Crouch. 3s. 6d. 
Mr. Crouch, in this duett, has so maz 
naged the combination of the violoncello 
with the piano-ferte, as to have produced 
an effect with which every one must be 
pleased, who ig capable of appreciating 
the talents necessary for so able an 
acquittal ip so difficult a task. The two 
Instruments converse with each otlier 
very agreeably, and are heard together 
to great advantage.

To those whose curiosity induces a 
love of the agcient and rare in musical 
melody, a great portion of the present 
collection will be highly acceptable ; 
while the new airs, from the pen of Mr. 
Jones, will be found characteristic and 
pleasing. Among the compiled matter 
we meet with specimens of the talents of 
Morley, Barrett, and other old English 
masters, whose labours have contributed 
to our repute for expressive, simple, and: 
natural melody. 
Emma, a Canzonet. Composed by F Ross, esq. Vs. 
«“ Emma” is a very pleasing air, and 
not a little recommended by the truly 
characteristical simplicity of its style. 
The ideas, theugh not, perhaps, remark- 
able for their novelty, are natural and 
connected, and the general effects at- 
tractive and interesting.
