knowledge of Dr.Crotch’s high prof fes sion- 
al abilities,and the specimen he has given 
in the present number, will not fail to be 
worthy the great parlor he bas eng aced 
to Peiiatine. And we hope so valu able a

prised in eighteen numbers, and each

Ai new grond Sonata fer the Piano-forte. Com- 
posed and dedicated to Mr. Charles Burn.tt, 
by Thomas Powell. §s. 
This Sonata, which is published with an 
accormpaninent fora flute or violin, ahd 
violoncelle (ad libitum), is written in. that 
easy, familiar,and pleasant style best cal- 
culated to promote itsgeneral ewculation, 
The movements, three in number, are ail 
engagty; yet we profess ourselves most 
pleased with the polveca, the subject of 
which is pa ticularly attractive; while the 
digressive matter is agreeably. concetved 
and perfectly analogous to the leading 
idea. 
i Duett for two Performers on the Piano- fortes 
Composed by T. Latour. 3s. 
This Duett, in which Mr. Latour has 
introduced the admired air of “ O Dolce 
Concento,” with Variations, is a produc- 
tion of considerable merit. The two 
parts move together with a happy effect, 
the ideas are often novel, sometimes in- 
geniously treated; and the movements 
are judiciously ar ranged and ¢ontrasted. 
In every page science and talent are 
prevalent, and piano-forte practitioners 
will find this piece an interesting and im. 
proving exercise.

ensures attraction. The parts are blend- 
ed with scientific propriety, and the ge- 
neral effect bespeaks much taste and 
judginent in this species of composition.

Mr. Butler has converted the above 
pe ssine air into a very attractive rondo, 
he style is simple and easy, and the 
passages lie remarkably well for the

forms one of the most azrceable trifles 
for the piano-forte that has come before ©

“ Rural Content,” a Pastoral Glee for three 
Voices, with an Accompaniment for the Piane- 
forte. 
by Tames Coombs. 25. 6d. 
This glee forms a kind of dialeaeas and, 
indeed, rather claims. the Jatter appella-. 
tion than the former. It is a very pleasing 
and interesting production. <A free and 
easy fancy prevades the melodies, the 
passages of which rise naturally out of 
each other, while the words present that 
true picture of innocent and rural sen- 
timent, which cannot but prove engaging 
to every hearer.
