This is probably Albinoni's best solo concerti, which provides us a fascinating glance on the musical life of the early 18th century.
This was a period when baroque music was increasingly being performed outside the usual places (court and church), with public performances becoming more common. Increasing demand for music led to the development of new music genres, symphonies and concertos, also with the help of the new technical developments in instruments and in music publication. The oboe, the instrument for which this concerto was written, had made its appearance during this period, but in the 19th century it completely disappeared (to reappear in a few compositions of the 20th century).
Albinoni's music is just like any music of that period, melodic, rhythmic and polyphonic, and gives us a good idea of how music must have sounded to the 17th and 18th century audiences, who believed that music could touch people's lives and become a way of communication. This piece, therefore, is like an open magical window to the life in Venice of the early 18th century.
A suggested title for this piece could be: "Baroque Venice".
