Specially tender and expressive
is No. 4. The piano shares with the violin both the difficulties and the
interests of each of the _morceaux_.
_Victoria Gavotte._ For piano. By Tito Mattei.--A capital piano piece.
We presume from the title that this is Signor Mattei's contribution to
the Jubilee Commemoration.
ROBERT COCKS AND CO.
_Gladys._ Rustic Dance. Composed for the pianoforte by Howard Talbot.--A
bright, telling piece. It would be very useful as an _entr'acte_ in your
Christmas charades.
_For Old Sake's Sake._ Song for contraltos. By Behrend.
W. MORLEY AND CO.
_Watching the Embers._ Song. Composed by Ciro Pinsuti to Weatherly's
words.--With a pretty refrain, but for the most part made up of a series
of common phrases. It is to be obtained in B flat, C, and D minors.
_Childie._ Song. By Behrend. Published in keys to suit all voices.--The
song is very similar to all his others. An old lady advising a child to
die young.
_The Biter Bit._ Song. Words and music by Henry Pontet.--A warning to
any who would marry for money, and not for love. In learning the above
three songs I am sure that singers will be as much distracted as I have
been by little squares like lottery coupons announcing that somebody
else's song cost L250.
