Per ta loutanansa di Lidia, Ode alla Luana, 
. Composixione estemporanea del celebre Impro- 
wisatcre, Francesco Gianni, Posta in Musica 
dedicata a Mrs. Bianchi da Bonifazio Asiali, 
Maestro di Cappella della Corte Reale ai 
Milans. 3s. 
Mr. Asioli, in bis music to this ode, 
has exhibited his power of entering into 
the passionate feelings of his author,. 
and of following up his ideas and expres- 
sions with a suitable sweetness and grace 
of melody. The trath and force with 
which most of the passages accompany 
the poetry, are powerful evidences of the 
composer’s sensibility, while the arrange- 
ment and combination evince both his 
taste and science. 
i Duett for two Performers on one Puan 
Composed and dedicated to the Mrs. Partridges, 
by ‘F. F. Burrowes.. 3s, 
This duett, considering that the whole 
is comprised in ohne movement, is tole- 
rably variegated in its effect. It would, 
perhaps, be going too far to allow it much 
of the merit of original conception: the 
plan of the movement is however good; 
and some of the ideas are too well sug-

Sonata for the Piano-forte. Composed and in= 
_ scribed to Miss Banbury, by N. Rolfe. 43. 
Mr. Rolfe, inthis sonata, has. exhi- 
bited much taste and fancy. The move- 
ments (three in number) are ingenious. 
in themselves, and calculated to greatly 
relieve each other. Many of the pas- 
gages have much air of originality, and are 
so connected, as to run into each other 
with remarkable smoothness. Ina word, 
the general style of the piece is such as 
to be reputable to the composer, and 
.will, we doubt not, secure to it the fa- 
vourable attention of practitioners on 
the instrument for which it is intended. 
A New Duett for the Harp and Piano-forte, or 
swo Harps. Composed and dedicated to Miss 
Beckett, by Thomas Powel. 5s. 
This duett consists of three move- 
ments; the firstin common time of three 
crotchets, the second an andantino in 
two crotchets, and the third a rondo in 
two crotchets. The introductory movee 
ment is spirited, and characterised by 
much pleasing and improving execution, 
The passages in the seeond, if not re- 
markably novel, are elegant, and taste- 
fully ‘arranged, while the rondo, espe- 
cially in its subject, is strongly attractive, 
and concludes the composition with ad- 
muirable effect.
