Oboe Concerto in D minor, Op.9 No.2: Study score

Tomaso Albinoni's Oboe Concerto in D minor has long been regarded as one of the finest concertos composed for the instrument. It was published in Amsterdam in 1722, the second of the 12 Concerti a cinque, Op.9. The date of composition and the premiere is unknown, but the work has increased in popularity in the later half of the 20th century to the present day along with the movement for historically appropriate performance practice. The edition offered here is a new one prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. working from the copies of the 1722 print available online at IMSLP. This study score is a reduced-format version of the large score and also includes the editor's realization of the continuo part. Besides the large score, the orchestra parts and an oboe and piano reduction are also available from Serenissima Music.
