NEW MUSIC.

D.dicate,l to Henry c. " ,tson BrsueId SON. Ceye
land Ohio.
All our readers will remember the brilliant
pianist James n. Wehli who 70 this country en-
urey unknown yet made by his first performance. Al
honorable reputation and achieved an unqualified sue
cess. Some OF has selections from his own COMPOSITIONS
were favOres from their first hearing equally through
their graceful lnd charming subjects and bis exquisite
manner Of Ienjcrns them. or these, the three most
popular Of Mr. Wehlis compositions are named above
and are publ bed By Brainerd Son OF Cleveland
Ohio one of the most eHerpr5fng Of the many great
music firms growing up IN the Western States. 1t
seems nat curious that Mr. Weh should have 10
70 ont West to sell tho copyrights Of pieces he had
lnade so popular here. But there are % many mys-
erously curious things in tie music business IN New
York that We have almost ceased 70 wonder az any
thing that is done.
Trembling Leaves" is the most popular d all MI
wehls compositions; It is a tremulous, Aattciine
thought delicate in its perpetual motion that fancy
at once suggests the whispering OF the winds through
tn. trees, with the gentle melting OF the leaves. The
second movement. which separates the beginning from
the end is euinently graceful and neodous, and forms
well cons dered contrast to tho leading idea OF the
no,c,au. /, piece that Will well repay tie study,
and require. brilliant finger develop its beauties
"Trenbling Leaves" will undoubtedly have large and
constant SALE
Tie "Galop de Bravoure" is brilliant dashirg and
effective composition It's subjects bold and popn
lar full of life and vivocity and mcodous w;hal. Mr
WehH has succeeded in preserving that unrcstul mo-
ton that hcadong mretuos.ty which are he charac'
terstics Of the Gaop II is pretty safe 20 prophecy
that this "Gaop de Brlvonre' VII become al the rage
in our fashionable salons dlginc tae coming Winter.
The e Baehanae" is OF Mr. Wehli's iavori,e en-
core pieces and is always honorcd by encore itself
OF its own merits It is characterized by spirit OF
reckless ,ollty-a wild dash that seems TO run riot in
is brilliant bravura caLences. The OpcLng chords Of!
the subject are key TO the whole spirit OF the con-
position. Mr.. Wehli carries out thought with rare
peIsisency; he does not hall to dilute by the way
but goes ,ht until it ia exhausted. Thus he rascs
bis pieces very complete IA FORM and presents his idea
! in way that none can misunderstood. The compost
tons under notice give fair idea of his style ana oil
the class Of difficulties which he executes gracefully
and with so much apparent ease.
Brainerd & Son have produced these works in adui.
rable style and while We commend their enterprise in
securing the compositions OF this eminent pianist We
feel satisfied that il will be found = richly paying
speculation.

Tn. Rock Words nv renny,on Musi, BY Chir., Moal-
Bee. Scnirme- No. 7Ol Broadway
Mr.. Moulton possesses happy vein Tor song
writing. He evidences a certain amount Of original
conception which carefully cultivated, wil give bin
claims TO considerable distinction in that line. The
song before Us exceedingly simple, bat its quaint and
decided character arrests the attention ard distln-
cuisines it from the common run of ballad writing lie
should however avoid such progressoas as occur in
bar second line second page, and bar !. ,sird line
second page where bare fourths and fiths occur be-
tween the voice and the running figure in the accom-
paniuen making harsh and most Ineffective discords.
Apart from these oversghts it is very clever song.
