HERR SCHLOEMER'S CONCERT.

Hen Adolph Sehlonaer's oJncert at the Hanover-
square Rooms, last evening, wan attended by ► large and
fashionable audience. He is well known in the musical
world as a distinguished composer and pianist; and, on this
occasion, he supported his reputation in both capacities.
His trio far the pianoforte, violin, and violoncello, per-
formed by himself, with Mr. Blegrove and Signor Piatti, is
• masterly composition, pomenneg much grace and beauty,
with the quality most rarely suet with—no small share of
originality. Herr Schloemer likewhe played two of Stephen
Heller's meet elegant Doke, end (with Piatti) a duet for the
piano and violoncello by Ohopis end Franehomme. The
vocal performers were Madame About, who sang the aria,
"In ei barbers miagura," from Sewirantide, mast beauti-
fully ; and Herr Reichardt, who appeared for the first time
this season, end sang •n air composed expressly for him by
Moyarbser, and a song entitled " Liebesbitte" (Love's re-
quest) composed by himself—a very beautiful composition,
and likely to become popular.
