NEW MUSIC.

Pianoforte Compositions. By E. F. Fitzwilliaui.
D'Almaine and Co., Soho-square.

These are very excellent, though unpretending,
productions, and we have derived much pleasure
from discussing them during a rainy day. Mr.
itzwilliam promises fairly to a3hieve that degree
of popularity which industry and talent deserve.
There is great variety in these morceaux, em-
bodying execution and taste, " The Page of Pre-
ludes" especially, and young students would do
well to practise them. Let Mr. Fitzwilliam remem-
ber that melody is the soul of music, while scientific
manipulation is the body, and with this in view he
cannot fail to take a prominent place in his pro-
fesssion.
