VIOLONCELLO AND PIANO-FORTE.
SELECT ITALIAN AIRS from the most popular Operas, arranged by F. W. CROUCH. Nos. 1 and 2. (Chappell.)
Mr. Crouch has here restored to an air by Paisiello, ‘Ah, mia cara,’ and one by Sacchini, ‘Più non ho la dolce speranza,’ both of which were doubtless once ‘popular,’ but before our time, and, we suspect, ere Mr. C. took much cognizance of these matters. However, we are pleased to meet with them; and convinced as we are that it will soon be expedient to resuscitate many good things by the same composers, we hail this as something of a beginning. Both the present are as short and easy as can be imagined, and are as graceful as brief.
