Alessandro Marcello: Concerto for oboe & orchestra in D minor

Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=ibZaxgnBsaU&fmt=18 Alessandro Marcello (1669 - 1747). Concerto for oboe & orchestra in D minor: 1: Andante e spiccato. 2: Adagio. 3: Presto. Il Giardino Armonico. Paolo Grazzi (Oboe). Dir. Giovanni Antonini. Alessandro Marcello was an Italian nobleman and dilettante who excelled in various areas, including poetry, philosophy, mathematics and, perhaps most notably, music. A slightly older contemporary of Antonio Vivaldi, Marcello held concerts at his hometown of Venice. He composed and published several sets of concertos, including six concertos under the title of La Cetra (The Lyre), as well as cantatas, arias, canzonets, and violin sonatas. Marcello often composed under the pseudonym Eterio Stinfalico, his name as a member of the celebrated Arcadian Academy (Pontificia Accademia degli Arcadi). Although his works are infrequently performed today, Marcello is regarded as a very competent composer. His La Cetra concertos are "unusual for their wind solo parts, concision and use of counterpoint within a broadly Vivaldian style," according to Grove, "placing them as a last outpost of the classic Venetian Baroque concerto." A concerto Marcello wrote in D minor for oboe, strings and basso continuo is perhaps his best-known work. Its worth was attested to by Johann Sebastian Bach who transcribed it for harpsichord (BWV 974). He died in Padua in 1747. Alessandro's brother was Benedetto Marcello, also a composer.

Is this not the first movement of oboe concerto no. 2 in C minor?

Pitch has changed about a semi-tone since Baroque times.

PAOLO GRAZZI - (Baroque Oboe) After obtaining the Diploma in Oboe from the Parma Conservatory at the age of 17, Paolo Grazzi undertook the study of the baroque oboe, first by himself and later with Paul Dombrecht at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. In 1981 he obtained the "Premier Prix" with distinction from the same Conservatory in both oboe and baroque oboe, and very soon became an authority on this instrument, both as a performer and a teacher, in Italy and abroad.

Musical pitch has been rising over the years. In the 17th century it would have been a half step lower. On period instruments, they usually tune themselves to the correct pitch for the era.
