Alessandro Marcello’s oboe concerto in D minor is one good example of Baroque art. I think this is a great example of a Baroque concerto (specially Italian Baroque concerto) because it follows the structure of a common Baroque concerto: it is divided in three movements: Allegro-Adagio-Allegro; the first and third movement make use of Ritornello (a theme performed by an orchestra, and then a development performed by the soloist) and the second movement has a rather free structure.

Even though Alessandro Marcello is unfrequently played because Vivaldi’s and Bach’s compositions are the most representative  compositions of Baroque music, I consider him a great composer from the Baroque period.

This work is perhaps the most well-known composition of Alessandro Marcello.
