the passaces are marked by grace and no-

Eivhly meevesting and dramatic. It is to- 
be la;nented, both on account of the com-—

eaten, that this piece was destined to

Etes for this species of composition in 
we most favourable point of view. The 
combinations are, in general, extremely 
well adjusted, and the bass is frequently 
the best that could have been selected; 
while the pets, answered with correct- 
wess and effect, coutribute to throw ever 
the’ whole a strtking air of mastery and 
talent. 
2. Sonata for the Piaua-ferte, composed and de- 
dicated to Miss Finlason, by F. Ross, esq. 4s. 
Fhis Sonata, in which Mr. Ross has 
mitroduced. some favourite Scottish atrs, 
Ts written in a free but easy style. ‘The 
passages, though playful, are not dif. 
feult ef execution, and taste prevails 
withoet the desertion of simplicity. In 
tke general constructiow of the piece, 
we trace much talent for arrangement, 
anda considerable knowledve of effect, 
while the mprovement of the finger, as 
well.as the gratification of the ear, has 
been successiully attended to. 
A Concerto, by Mezart, adapted as a Sonata for 
tke Picts fo, by D. Bruguier, and deo 
dicated to bis friend, F. Lanza, 6s. 
Mr. Bruguier, in his adaptation of this 
concerto for the piano-forte,_has evinced 
2 thorough acquaintance with the parti- 
cular pomts of excéllence in his author, 
as well as a per! fect kuowledge of ne. 
character and powers of ‘the instrument 
for which he itends it. The whole is 
“ gccompanied with a viol ae and the 
oeeedl| effect; is, we think, calculated 
to ensure the Lisi tthe an extensive

are written by Mr. Currell, is pleasing 
in its melody, and calculated to iuipress 
the hearer with a favourable opinion of 
the composer’s taste and sensiiility,

A favourite Duet, for the Piano forte. Come 
posed and dedicated to Miss and Miss Mary 
Eyre, by Fi Fay. 6s. 
This duec, which iscomprised in one 
movement, 1s simple and easy in its style, 
and without the ostentation of profound 
science, or a severe attention to: the se- 
crets of elaborate composition, exhibits 
the taste of the eomposer i a favour- 
able light, and is productive of a very 
pleasing effect. We should not do jus- 
tice to Mr. Jay’s merits, if we did not 
reeommend this. production to the atten- ‘ 
tion of juvenile: practitioners, for whose 
use and improvement it seems particu- 
larly adapted. ' 
“S$ If it be Love 3" an Ariette, as sung by Me: 
Vaughan, at the Vocal Concerts, Hanower- 
square. Composed by F. F. Burrowes. 21. _ 
We find in this ariette indicauons of” 
an effort, with which the effeet, we must 
in candour observe, does not perfectly — 
correspond. Some of the passages are 
agreeable in themselves, and tolerably 
connected, but not so pregnant with — 
meaning as we could wish; nor do we 
find in the whole that distinguishing fea- 
ture inhérent in or igunal composition. 
Les Petites Rivales: a Divertimento for two 
Performers on one Piano-forte. Composed 
and dedicated to Miss and Miss Mary Thorn- 
bill, by Charles Edward Horn. 2s. 6d. 
Mr. Horn has evidently designed the 
article before us for what we are ready 
to acknowledge it—an ayreeabie trifle. 
Though nothing very scientific or artifi- 
cial presents itself to us, the parts are 
perfectly in rule, and the effect, if not 
brilliant, is pleasing. 
Sixth Divertimento for the Piano forte. ik 
posed and dedicated to the Right Hon. Lady 
Diana Herbert, by F. RB. Cramer, esq. “5s. 
In this divertimento, Mr. Cramer has 
mtroduced a favourite Spanish fandango, 
serving at once to delight the ear, and 
relieve the other movements of the coni= . 
position. In every page of the pubircd- 
tion we trace the talents of this excel-, 
lent master, and find his genius s second= 
ed ‘by his taste and judgment.
