Pieces for he Pianoforte. By Emanuel Aguilar.

These pieces consist of a study in A_ minor, a romanza in A flat, a ca- price in D flat, and a descriptive morcesur called "La Fete Villageoise," in F. They are among the most agreeable compositions for the piano- forte solo that we have lately met with ; and our lady pianists will find them valuable, not onlyas affording improving practice, but as being ad- mirably fitted for drawingroom performance. They have the great ad- vantage of brevity ; and their melody and variety will render, them at- tractive even to the uneducated ear, while their classical purity of style will recommend them to the most cultivated taste. Mr. Aguilar is one of our most accomplished pianists, and in writing for his instrument he avails himself of the brilliant execution of the modern school ; but he does it discreetly, making execution subservient to the production of beauty and expression.
