The last of these pieces, No. 4, is very pretty, very easy to execute, and has other recommendations of a minor kind; but we should not have named the original, the romantic Weber, as its author, had we been desired to guess the writer: we should rather have ascribed it to some of our own countrymen, who often assume the title of composer, in consequence of having succeeded in imitating something by somebody else, and then proved equally successful in passing it off amongst the unwary as their own. After a page of very good introduction, the rest of this piece is an extended waltz, full of suavity, and too genteel in its manner, to possess any thing that is striking or new, but very likely to find its way into a great deal of extremely good company.
