Oberon, or the Elf King's Oath; a Romantic and Fairy Opera, &c.. Composed and arranged, with an Accompaniment for the Piano-Forte, by C. M. Von Weber. Parts II. and III. Royal Harmonic Institution.

With these two parts, which contain the second and third acts of the Opera, the whole work is now complete before the public. Of the first we had accasion to speak in one of our former numbers; and the praise to which we thought it entitled belongs equally to these parts. The enjoyment which the composition afforded to the hearer, is sufficiently known from its repeated representations; but it is only from these volumes that the musical student will be able rightly to appreciate its learning and ingenuity. The arrangement, which has evidently been made with the utmost care, is bey the composer himself, and contains, in substance, all that was played at the theatre, except the orchestral accompaniments. These are given here to the piano-forte, in a condensed or reduced form, and are subjoined to the vocal parts, which they will found materially to assist.
