The Oboe Concerto in G major (also catalogued as L. 42) by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf (1739–1799) is a standard work of the Classical oboe repertoire, known for… its elegant melodies and technical clarity. The concerto typically lasts approximately 15 minutes and follows the traditional three-movement concerto structure: I. Maestoso (or Allegro non molto): A stately opening movement in common time. II. Adagio: A lyrical and expressive slow movement. III. Allegro: A bright and virtuosic finale.
