Many of the ideas are very 
Oviginal, avd the whole evinces much 
judgment in effeét, as well as confiderable 
knowledge of the powers and true cha- 
yacter of the initrument for which it is 
written. From Mr. Latour’s perform: 
ance of this concerto from the manu- 
{cript, before it was printed, we received 
much pleafure; and it will be confidered 
as luficient proof of its excellence, that 
we think ‘will move highly of it on its pe- 
yufal. In the accompaniment the com. 
poler has difplayed much tafte and judg- 
ment; and in his modulation and the 
choice of his bafs, confiderabie fcience. 
§* Weep no more!” a Duo for a Soprano (or 
Tenor and Bafs), as fung by Meffrs. Harrifon 
and Bartleman. Compojed, and dedicated to 
Mifs sillot, by Dogtor Fobn Clarke, of Cam- 
bridge. 25. 
This duo, which confi#s of two move- 
ments, is written with ference and tafte. 
‘The parts blend with much felicity of ef- 
fet, and the foft pathetic ftyle of the firft 
movement finely introduces tre light 
cheerful train by which it is faccceded. 
Dr. Clarke has added a piano-forte ac- 
companinmient, which will be found greatly 
accommodating to the generality of prac- 
titioners.

by the Author, with the utmof Applause, at 
the Opera Concerts, Compofed by D. Steibelt, 
Efe SS. 6d. 
va 
This concerto is compofed in a free and 
florid fiyle, and poffefles many pailages 
which, for their briliiancy, do credit to 
Mr. Steibelt’s imagination; yet we feel 
ourfelves obliged to obferve, that eager- 
refs for novelty feems to have Jed him too 
muuch amongft the eccentricities and ex- 
travagances of the day; and that fome 
bars are much more outré than beautiful. 
he fubtect ct the laft movement is ftrik- 
ingly pieafing, and pereGily @ la chafe; 
and the bravura paris are bold and ant- 
mated. Though we cannot rank this 
piece with the Storm by the fame com- 
poler, we mutt declare it to pofiefs great 
excellencies, and to be very fuperior to 
the generality of piano-forte concertos.

‘¢ Cupid at Court,” a favourite Rondo. Com- 
pofed, and infcribed to Mifs Gregory, and the 
young Ladies of ber Seminary, Balbaw-UHil, 
Surrey, by Fulian Bufoy. 1s. 64. 
The ftyle of this rondo is throughout 
remarkably attractive. The fubject is 
light and novel, and the digrefiive ftrains

“ Fockey to the Fair,” arranged as a Ronda for 
ibe Piano-Forte, and inferibed to Mdifs Han- 
fon, by W. Curling. 
Thefe variations are fimple and progre{- 
five, and will be found ufeful to thefe

ana the diftances are accommodated to the

“ Marys Grave,’ a Scottifo Bailad, The 
Words and Mclody by Fobn Rannie. 15. 6d. 
We cannot but award Mr, Raanie 
much praife for this little production. 
The words are poetical and interefting, 
and the air is pleafine and appropriate. 
In examining the compofitions of ama- 
teurs, we are not fo unieafonableas to 
look for {cieece; but are contented if we 
find the author innocent of violating its 
principal laws. ;

piano-forte pra@titioners. The paflages 
are favourably difpofed for the inexpert- 
enced hand, and well calculated for im-. 
provement. :
