This beautiful Baroque solo, which has been a favourite with
oboists, is now available for woodwind quintet. The solo line is
unaltered and the string parts are given to the remainder of the
ensemble..
This Sonata in B-flat Major was originally scored for recorder,
oboe, violin and continuo but it seems to work very naturally for
woodwind quintet. There are four movements to this Sonata and each
could be played alone at a wedding or church service.
