is familiar elegance. A well-ftudied eafe, 
and a natural and clofe conneétion of idea, 
predominate throughout, and give an 
agreeable and engaging character to the 
feveral movements. The fubje& to the 
concluding. rondo in the firft fonata is re- 
markably pleafing. The avdante in the 
fecond is extremely graceful ; and the 
cantabile in the third is highly polithed. 
The openings to every piece we muft not, 
in jultice, omit to fay, are animated and 
mafterly ; efpecially that of the third, 
with which we are particularly ftruck. 
4 fourth Grand Concerto for the Piano-forte, 
sbith Accompaniments, compofed and dedicated 
to IMifs Hamilton, by F. B. Cramer, Efz. 
Ss. Oa." 
Mr. Cramer has given in this concerto 
a happy fpecimen of his talent in initru- 
mental compofition. The ideas are vivid, 
and, in general, well connected. The 
tranfitions of harmony are fometimes very 
novel, and, in molt inftances, of firiking 
efieé&t. Some licences of diflonance, how- 
ever, fuch as that in the tenth bar of the 
introduction, we cannot entirely approve ; 
nor his too free indulgence in femitonic 
intervals. The accompaniments to this 
matterly compofition are for a firft and fe- 
cond violin, a flute, a fir and fecond horn, 
a firft and fecond hautboy, a firit and fe- 
cond baffoon, a drum, a trumpet, a viola, 
and a double bals.

Ballet, as performed at the King’s Fheatre,

for the Piano'forte, by H. R. Bifbop. 10s. 64. 
To this ballet, defigned by Signior Rof- 
fi, Mr. Bifhop has done ample juftice. 
The variety, relief, and general torce of 
effeét, by which the mufic is diftinguithed, 
are fo highly creditable to. bis talents in 
this fpecies of compofition, that we can- 
not but predié the highe# future fuccefs 
in his fcenic efforts. “Fhe Battle in the 
-firft ack, numbers fourand five in the fe- 
cond, and feven and eleven in the third, 
are original, and fiikingly dramatic, and 
fet the compofer’s talents in the moft flat.

Mr. Woelfl has difplayed in thefe fona-

Tirefe fonatas are replete with paflages’ 
of execution, fome of which are of brilliant 
effect, yet are not, generally {peaking, too 
difficult for practitioners of moderate ad- 
vancement. ‘The movemenis are tafefully 
conceived and judicioufly contrafted ; and

The foothing plaintive ftyle of this little 
fong will not fail to pleafe thofe who are- 
fond of pathetic melody. ‘The tranfition 
from the minor to the major, at the words

figh’d,” is judicious, and produces all the 
intended effect.

rompaniment for the Flute, compofed by 7. 
Mazzinghi, Ejg. 7s. 6d. 
The ftyle of thele fonatas is at once po- 
pular, tafteful, and elegant. Much beau- 
ty of melody prevails in almoft all the {e- 
veral movements ; the execution is calcu- 
lated to improve the finger of the young 
practitioner ; and the accompaniment, 
which is ad libitum, is arranged with the

Both the words and mufic of this fong

pected trom the pen of Mr, Shield.
