NEW PIANO MUSIC.--"The celebrated Composer, Theodore Oesten.--It is always
with particular pleasure we direct our attention to those subjects which
are interesting to our fairer readers--such, for instance, as the musical
topics of the day. Every fair pianiste is acquainted with the name of
Theodore Oesten; every piano is loaded with his gay and beautiful
productions. Who does not know, or, knowing, does not admire, his 'Valse
Elegante?' Who is insensible to his beautiful interpretation of Kuechen's
'Cradle Song' (Schlummerlied), or his very many elegant transpositions for
the pianoforte, as 'Rousseau's Dream,' Beethoven's admired 'Adelaide,' and
his very remarkable arrangement of our glorious National Anthem 'God Save
the Queen'--all of them worthy (and that is not to say a little) of the
popular arranger of the charming 'When the Swallows hasten Home.' The
singular merits of Theodore Oesten have not escaped the vigilant eye of her
Majesty's music publishers, the Messrs. Robert Cocks & Co. having secured,
as we are informed, the exclusive copyright of his works for this
country."--Vide _Globe_, 18th April, 1854.
