C.111. Von Weber's Pianoforte Works. EditedaY J. MoscwELES.

While reams on reams of music-paper are dai'y covered with the trash that now passes under the name of pianoffste music, it is a pleasure and a consolation to encounter such a wrfk as this. The editions of BlozAnT, 13EentovEs, and WEuen, that are in the course of publication under the superintendence of our most accomplished artists, are SO many missionaries sent out to teach what is lovely and pure and enduring in music, and to shine as lights in the midst of much dulness and darkness. The reprint of WEBER has reached its Tenth Number, which comprises his celebrated Concert_Stfick.
