This work was originally a Concerto for Oboe and Strings (in D Minor), composed by the italian nobleman and composer Alessandro Marcello around 1716. It has become Marcello's most famous work, and one of the most popular items in the oboe repertoire. However, the piece was made famous through Johann Sebastian Bach's arrangement for harpsichord, catalogued as BWV 974.
I became aware of this work after hearing the recording with Víkingur Ólafsson and immediately looked up the score. The soft beginning and the strong ending are absolutely magical.
