Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor

Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor

The Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor was written by Alessandro Marcello in the early 1700s, and has become his most famous work. It is also one of the most performed Oboe Concertos in the Oboe repertory. In the past, and continuing to the present, it has been mistakenly attributed to both Benedetto Marcello and Antonio Vivaldi. J.S. Bach made the piece famous by writing a transcription of the piece in C minor for Harpsichord.

The piece has three movements:
*Andante spiccato
*Adagio
*Presto

There are at least two different versions of the Adagio that exist, both of which are performed with frequency. The differences concern the melodic line in the middle of the movement, and a few small harmonic differences in the orchestra.
