The Musical Library, Part XIX.

The contents of this number illustrate the progress of vocal writing and of composition for keyed instruments, by the admixture of things new and old—yet all good of their kind. SEBASTIAN BACH, Mozater, and Mosel' SEES form a well-assorted succession of instrumental wri- ters : and the works of some of our old English composers stand well .and worthily beside those of ILlynst and other moderns. This periodical infusion of good matter among our amateurs, accompanied with the short biographical and critical notices which the Supplement contains, must have a purifying and wholesome effect on our musical at- mosphere.
