Italian
composer of 81 operas, 99 sonatas, 59 concertos and 9 sinfonias. J. S. Bach made use of several of his themes and used
Albinoni bass parts for practice in thorough-bass. In recent years
there has been keen interest in his concertos for strings, concerti
grossi, oboe and trumpet concertos. Credited with being first Italian
composer of oboe concertos and first to employ three movements in
concertos (Opus 2). The popular Adagio for organ and strings in G minor
owes very little to Albinoni, having been constructed from a manuscript
fragment by the 20th century Italian musicologist, Remo Giazotto, whose
copyright it is.
