J.S. Bach Sonata in G Minor for Oboe and Harpsichord BWV 1030b

performed by Gonzalo X. Ruiz, baroque oboe and Elliot Figg, harpsichord
In the mid 20th century musicologists discovered a manuscript keyboard part to the famous Bm flute sonata BWV 1030. Being a third lower, and of an earlier date, it became obvious that the work had originally been written for a different instrument, and oboe seemed the most likely candidate. As it became clear that in fact it was probably written for violin instead, it was largely disowned by oboists as quickly as it had been adopted. I have always kept it in repertoire, feeling that regardless of the evidence it is one of the greatest works we oboists can play. Like many others, I have "discovered" a high Eb on my baroque oboe, allowing a performance without changes in those four key moments.
