Oboe Concerto No. 1 (Handel)

The Oboe Concerto No. 1 in B flat major (HWV 301) was composed by George Frideric Handel for oboe, orchestra and basso continuo. It was first published in the fourth volume of Select Harmony by Walsh in 1740.[1] Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxi,85; and HHA iv/12,17.[1]

The concerto is thought to be an early work of Handel's,[1] however the attribution to Handel has been questioned on stylistic grounds [2]

A typical performance of the work takes almost eight minutes.

Movements

The work consists of four movements:

  1. Adagio
  2. Allegro
  3. Siciliana
  4. Vivace (in the rhythm of a minuet)
gollark: Idea: not using ***C***.
gollark: People use **Windows**.
gollark: It would just need a bootloader and stuff and probably involve horrible madness like directly rewriting the BF code.
gollark: I'm sure you can do it by executing programs within BF.
gollark: Even on bare-metal I think poking some memory areas can directly display text.
