published in 1722.
The most famous piece from Albinoni's Opus 9 is the
Concerto in D minor for oboe (Opus 9, Number 2). It is
known for its slow movement. This concerto is probably
the second best-known work of Albinoni after the Adagio
in G minor (which was once believed to be a
reconstruction based on a fragment by Albinoni). The
concertos were dedicated to Maximilian II Emanuel,
Elector of Bavaria, and were first published in
Amsterdam. It is possible, but not certain, that they
were written in the Elector's court during a 1722 visit
there by Albinoni during performances of his theatrical
compositions
This concerto in D minor for oboe and strings (Op 9 No
2) was originally composed for Oboe, 2 Violins, Viola
and Cello or Continuo and is considered to be
Albinoni’s best solo concerto. After an energetic
first movement, characterized by dotted rhythms, comes
this ravishing Adagio movement. Accompanied by repeated
chords in the lower strings and a harp-like
configuration in the first violin, the soloist has a
soaring line: here is Albinoni at his most appealingly
melodic. The concluding movement keeps both soloist and
orchestra busy with an imitative arpeggiated figure and
plenty of counterpoint.
