Adagio Movement arr. for Piano Solo
One of the most frequently performed oboe-concertos, the Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D Minor by Alessandro Marcello was written in the early eighteenth-century and is Marcello's most famous piece. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a wonderful harpsichord-transcription (BWV 974) in C minor. The concerto has been mistakenly attributed to both Alessandro Marcello's brother Benedetto Marcello and to Antonio Vivaldi.
Alessandro Marcello (1669 - 1747) was an Italian nobleman, poet, philosopher, mathematician, and musician who often composed under the pseudonym "Eterio Stinfalico". In addition to the aforementioned concerto, he composed and published several sets of concertos, including a set of six concertos called La Cetra (The Lyre), as well as cantatas, arias, canzonets, and violin sonatas.
The music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. It is unsurpassed in its expression of profound reverence for life, and in its depth and diversity of ideas and feelings. It provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
