Coming from a wealthy Venetian family, Albinoni didn't need to earn his living as a musician, but his amateur status is no reflection on the quality of his instrumental music which was compared favourably with the work of his contemporaries Vivaldi and Corelli, in his own lifetime. Albinoni is known to have written 53 operas (he claimed 81) but only 3 have survived and it is on his instrumental sonatas and concerti that his reputation depends. No less a composer than JS Bach used three of his works as the themes for clavier and organ fugues and it is suggested that Albinoni was central to the development of the three movement concerto form (Fast - Slow - Fast).

The 12 'concerti a cinque' Op.7 (the 'cinque' refers to a 5 part string orchestra as distinct from the more usual 4 parts) were published in Amsterdam by Etienne Roger some time between 1710 and 1715. Besides 4 concerti for oboe & strings, Op.7 includes 4 for 2 oboes and 4 for violin, but the solo oboe concerti, Nos 3,6,9 & 12, are generally thought to be the most original and best of the collection. This edition of Op.7 No.3 was prepared by the distinguished conductor, musicologist and teacher Prof. Bernhard Paumgartner who also reduced the orchestral string parts for keyboard. In the introduction he says "This concerto is exemplary and fascinating, remarkable for its compactness, for its beautiful combination of the solo part with the tutti and the original development of its ideas."

A beautiful Baroque piece which will be a pleasure to work on especially with my brilliant oboe teacher Catherine Baker.
