LEIPZIG.
KALKBRENNER gave a concert here on the 3rd of May. He is proceeding to Petersburg, and intends being at Vienna in August.
A theoretical work has recently issued here, from the press of Messrs. Breitkopf and Härtel, entitled Aesthetisch-historische Einleitung in die Wissenschaft der Tonkunst (Aesthetical and Historical Introduction to the Science of Music), by Dr. William Christian Müller, in two volumes. The first volume bears the separate title, Essay on an Aesthetical Theory of Music, and treats in twenty chapters this extensive branch of the art, in a very clear and satisfactory manner. The second volume contains the chronology of music, the history of its cultivation, divided into ten epochas, from the dark ages of mythology to the present time. The industry and care of the author are praiseworthy, and are sufficiently displayed in numerous references and quotations.
