form the companion to Piper Heidsieck Waltz, formerly written by the same
composer. As there is a taste for a special brand of champagne, there may
be a difference of opinion in regard to the two valses, composed by Mr.
Pratt. We must, however, say that "Piper-Sec" will please the ordinary

Ch. MORLEY.—"Marquis and Marquise Saynette Pompadour," for
Piano. 30 cts. A good arrangement of thi3 delightful Gavotte, written for
orchestra.
CLARENCE S. STERNBERGEE.—" My Partner." Waltzes. 75cts. A strange
coincidence with Aronson's " Sweet Sixteen " in the first bars. This coin-
cidence may be unintentional, as may be the case with the other themes,
which resemble Strauss and Waldteufel ; but it looks suspicious, and Mr.
Sternberger, if not guilty, will have to prove his innocence in other works
more original.
W. F. SUDDS.—American Triumphal March. 50 cts. The composition
is clever enough, but hardly expresses the title ; we find very little in it
which indicates the feelings of triumph.
A. SHATTINGER, St. Louis, Mo.
FRED. GEDNEY.—"Sighingfor Summer." Song. 35 cts. We hope that
summer will not hear the song, otherwise it may never come back to us any
more.

GEO. SCHLEIFFARTH.— li Moonlight Fancies." Valse Grotesque, fo)~ Piano.
60 cts. I t is grotesque, indeed, and would be preferable if it were n o t ; the
valse proper is commendable; the introduction on the piano is ineffective,
but would be more interesting in an orchestral garb.
J. FISCHER k CO., New York.
E. J. BIEDERMANN.—" Missa Solemnis." For Mixed Chorus, with Organ
or Orchestral Accompaniment, We have before us a work of great merit. We
miss occasionally the solemn character, which should be the first necessity ;
btii, oil the other hand, the work is free from trivialities, and is built on
strong musical principles. As is the custom in the musical service of the
Roman Catholic Church, the Mass is full of melodies, which are worked out
in a manner worthy of a good musician. The Mass is dedicated to Mr. W.
F. Pecher, organist of the cathedral in our city.
PETIT AINE, Paris.
HUBERT ROLI/ENO. "Voix de la Nuit." Reverie for piano. 5 francs. The
composer, who lives in New Orleans, has evidently talent, which would show
to still better advantage if he tried to be a little less descriptive. The make-
up of the publication is far inferior to what is done in similar cases in this
country, and Mr. Louis Grunewald, in New Orleans, is the American agent
for the composition.
