WEBER, (G.) An Attempt at a Systematically Arranged Theory of
Musical Composition. Translated from the 3d German edition, with
Notes, by J. F. Warner. 2d ed. 2 vols. roy. 8vo, $5. Boston, 1846

The distinguishing characteristic of this work is, that it is a theory of musical compo-
sition conformable to the present state of the art a view of the rules and methods
practised by Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Spohr: it is unique for the copi-
ousness as well as appositeness of its musical illustrations. The treatise of Albrechts-
berger is full of antiquated pedantry, and that of Cherubini wholly unworthy of his
illustrious name. In Germany, Weber's work is the standard authority. The
works of Reicha and Marx possess some peculiar merits, but they aim more at par-
ticular excellencies, while Weber aims at general and universal ones.
