First movement of Albinoni's lovely concerto for oboe in D minor (opus 9, number 2). Note that the movement is titled "Allegro e non presto," that is, "Joyfully and not fast". Many contemporary orchestras play allegros much too fast for my taste. After all, "allegro" means happy or joyful, not fast. In this case, the composer evidently wanted to be sure that it was not played fast. And I didn't (because I can't play it much faster than I have done here, and wouldn't have even if I could). Performed on virtual instruments: Baroque oboe (Wallander Instruments), strings, and harpsichord.
