1) Encouragement? a Military Air and Alle- 
mande for the Piano-forle. Composed and 
dedicated io Miss Russell, by J. Davies. 
9°. 6d. 
‘Encouragement’? is not devoid 
of faney, but we cannot compliment 
ithe composer on his science or judg- 
meut. The passages are. sometimes 
false in their construction, and. fre- 
quently » unconnected... These, .how- 
eyer, are not detects of nature: Mr. 
Davies pussesses imagination; and fu- 
ture studies may effect much.

Composed by M. ‘P. King. Qs. ad. 
Talents and. science. are in this little 
production happily combined. ‘The 
passages are fanciful, if not original ; 
the combination, generally speaking, i is 
remarkably good; and where imitation 
has been the ¢ composer's object, he has 
ellected it successfully, and with much 
apparent ease. Viewed in the aggre- 
gate, * the Dying Swan” merits our 
honorable repori.

and the passages are pleasant and fa- 
miliar. Mr. Holst, by converting it 
intoa piano-forte rondo, has made “the 
most of it, and will, we doubt not, be, 
by its general sale, well repaid for his 
ingenuity. 
© Tellme how to bid Adieu, Love; a Favourile 
Rondo, written by J. dk. Anderson, Iq. 
composed by Sir John. Stevensor., Mus. 
Doe. 1s. 6d. 
Sir John Stevenson has in the present 
rondo exhibited much of his well- 
known tasle and powers in melodial 
expression. The ideas are not only 
elegant in themselves, but bighly em- 
bellished ; and the piano-forle accom- 
paniment is judiciously adjusted. 
*¢ Alone for You 3? a Ballad. The Words by 
Mr. J. Swart : theMusic composed and derli- 
cated to Miss Fenton, by J. Major. 1s. 6d. 
This air, to which Mr. Major has 
given a piano-forte accompaniment, 18 
‘casy, agreeable, and connected in its 
passages ; and in its general cfiect, raks 
above the ordinary ballads of the ‘day. 
“The Days that are coal a Ballad, composed 
by Dr. John Clarke, of Cambridge, 1s, 6d. 
_ This ballad is natural avd agreeable 
in its melody, and the piano-forte part, 
with which it is accompanied, is inge- 
niously arranged. Dr. Clarke has vot 
failed to consvlt the sentiment of the. 
words, nor to exhibit this usual powers 
in inforcing its impression.
