NEW PIANO MUSIC.—"The celebrated Composer, Theodore Oesten.—It is always with particular pleasure we direct our attention to those subjects which are interesting to our fairer readers—such, for instance, as the musical topics of the day. Every fair pianiste is acquainted with the name of Theodore Oesten; every piano is loaded with his gay and beautiful productions. Who does not know, or, knowing, does not admire, his 'Valse Elegante?' Who is insensible to his beautiful interpretation of Küchen's 'Cradle Song' (Schlummerlied), or his very many elegant transpositions for the pianoforte, as 'Rousseau's Dream,' Beethoven's admired 'Adelaide,' and his very remarkable arrangement of our glorious National Anthem 'God Save the Queen'—all of them worthy (and that is not to say a little) of the popular arranger of the charming 'When the Swallows hasten Home.' The singular merits of Theodore Oesten have not escaped the vigilant eye of her Majesty's music publishers, the Messrs. Robert Cocks & Co. having secured, as we are informed, the exclusive copyright of his works for this country."—Vide Globe, 18th April, 1854.
