ILia.:ol.l.fevitsOis or JENNY Ltsp.—This is the title
of a collection of "Ten Northern Melodies," arranged for
the issnotirte by Rudolph Widmer', which has just ap-
peared. This publication is well-timed, at a period when
the pile:pee among us of the " Swedish Nialpngale " has
given an interest to everything associated 'with her name,
and especially to the national melodies of her country ; but
it does not stand in need of any such extrinsic recommends-
titan. The popular strains of the Scandinavian nations
are full of beauty and expression. The melodies are
short, simple, natural, and very varied in their capa-
bility of conveying sentiment and pasaion ; bat, Rot-
then mournful, gay, warlike, or playful, they have
a smoothness and regularity which, without weak-
ening their character, renders them more susceptible of har-
mony mid artistic treatment than the national tunes of any
other country that we know—not excepting those of our own
islands. Mr. Willi:tier., who is well known to be one of the
most accomplished pianists of the day, is (we believe) him-
self a Dane; and he has shown himself, in the compoedions
before us, to be thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the
Scandinavian muse. Ot the ten melodies selected by him,
one ie Danish, two are Norwegian, and the remainder are
Swedish. Etch of them is formed into a piece for the piano-
forte. consisting of a short characteristic introduction leading
into the melody, which is then treated as a motivo or sub-
ject, enriched with beautiful harmony, and expanded by •
series of passages which flow naturally out of it, and are in
perfect keeping with Restyle and expression. Mr. Willmets
is himself peranessed of unbounded execution on his instru-
ment : but he has been on his guard against • faculty which
is so total to the value of moat of the published music of the
great pianists of the day. These pieces are not easy, cer-
tainly; but they are free from the extravagant and no-
meaning difficulties of the present school. Any well-taught
lady may attack them without hesitation ; and we hare met
with f.”w modern pieces of pianoforte music which will
afford a more agreeable drawing-room entertainment.
