- Ditto, No. 3.
No. 1 is the eternal air in A—
certainly very pleasantly and well arranged, moderate in length, and calling for only reasonable powers in the flutist. The accompaniment quite easy.
Nos. 2, 3, and 4 form a highly useful work, at least to those who admire modern opera airs. These numbers contain ‘Ah, come rapida!’ from Meyerbeer’s Crociato; ‘Soave e bel contento,’ from Pacini’s Niobe; and ‘Deh! Calma, o ciel!’ from Rossini’s Otello. The flute part is difficult; the accompaniment otherwise. Both are printed together, but the former is also in a detached sheet.
FLUTE.
- Old Friends with new Faces, a collection of the most popular National Airs, &c. &c., arranged by T. LINDSAY. Books 2 and 3. (Cramer and Co.)
- THE FLUTONICON, or Flute-player’s Monthly Companion. No. IX. (Sherwood and Co.)
THE ‘old friends’ are Scottish and Irish melodies, the best that could be chosen, with variations to each; some in character with the airs, and suited to the instrument; others yielding to fashion, therefore not remarkable for appropriateness. This little work has an apposite motto, ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot?’ and those who say ‘nay,’ will do well to purchase the work.
