REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

A Grand Bugle-horn Troop ; compofed and dedi- 
cated to Edward Everard, Efq. Lieutenant- 
Colonel of the Firft Regiment of Norfolk Vo- . 
lunteer Infantry, by George Gueft, of Wif- 
beach, 35. 
R. GUEST has publifhed this 
{ Troop in fcore, for clarinets, flutes, 
horns, bafloons, ferpents, bugle-horns, 
fide drums, and bafs drums, with an adap- 
tation for the piano-forte. In the feore 
the characters and powers of the feveral 
infruments are well confulted, and the 
Gdaptation qualifies the produétion for 
chamber practice. In the ftyle of the 
melody we find much to be pleafed with ; 
the paflages are {prightly and animating ; 
and an eafy and obvious connection of 
idea forms one of their confpicuous beau- 
ties. The pcnerel attraction of this piece, 
we fhould expect, will procure it much 
popularity among yoong piano-forte ftu- 
dents. 
Dirge for the Death of Lord Nelfn. The 
Words by the Rev. W. L. Bowles. Compofed 
and arranged for the Piano-forte, by ‘7. Rauz- 
zini, Efg. 35. 
This dirge, which has been performed 
with the createft applaule at the Bath 
concerts, difcovers tn its fiyle and adjuft- 
ment many evidences of the real matter. 
Ja the mtrodudtory firain we find much 
trce pathos ; and the triumphant cpening 
tee Litt up, brave chief, thy dying 
eyes,” is powerfully animating. Tt would 
be great injuftice to Mr. Rauzzini to fu ip- 
prefs our admiration of his accompani- 
ment: if is at once original, fanciful, and 
analogous, and fets the compofer’s jude 
ment and imagination in a ftriking point 
of view.

The melody and adjuftment of the

berificof the fenfe of. the avordsiz-anil po 
fmall aid to the cffe& is derived trem the

A Grand Sonata for the Piano-forte, with Ace 
companiments for a Violin and Bafs (ad iibi- 
tum.) Compofed and dedicated to Mifs F. 
Meyer, by Mr. Latour. 4s. 
This fonata, in which Mr. Latour has 
introduced Mozart’s favourite air of ‘* The 
Manly Heart,’ does great credit to bis 
tafte and ingenuity. "The variations with. 
which he has augmented this movement, 
and the graces with which it is embel- 
lifhed, exhibit deciced marks of a florid 
and cultivated imagination. The fubject 
of the original movement is bold and 
firiking, and the effect of the tout-en- 
femble is highly creditable to the abilities 
of the ingenious au hor. 
bree Grand Sonatas for the Pigno forte, by 
D. Stettelt, Efg. &s. 
Mr. Steibelt has difplayed in thefe fo- 
natas much of that brilliancy of fancy, 
force of invention, and juftnefs of ma- 
nagement, fer which the greater part of 
his produtions are diftirguifhed. The 
flow movements are conceived with the 
tafte peculiar to this great mafter, and the 
rapid paflages lie tco well for the haad 
not to be alone fufficient to difcover his 
maftery on the inftrument for which he 
writes. 
A Sonata for the Piano-forte 3 with an Accom- 
paniment for the Violin. Compofed, and de- 
dicated to the Rt. Hon. Lady Frances Wilfony 
by F. Fay. 58. er 
Mr. Jay has written this forata with 
tafte, and has, generally Speaking, ar- 
ranged his paflages well for the Anger 
The firk movement is confiruéied with 
fo much ability, that we bave not the leaft 
objection to offer, unlefs it be to the un- 
‘broken confecution of bars of twelve 
quavers, which might eafily have been 
avoided. The fubjeci and digreflive mat- 
ter of the rondo are highly pleating, and 
the accompaniment is managed with ad- 
drefs. 
Mossart’s §*Good Night.” ~ woah jie asa Glee 
for Phree Voices. 18. 6d. | 
The words of this glee are written by 
the celebrated Rofa Matilda, and poffcds 
fuficient nature and fimplicity to be 
wosthy her Mufe. The air to which it 
is here adapted we cannot clafs with the 
moft attractive melodies of Mozart; but 
“a. ftyle haimenizes with that of the 
words 3
