The chalumeau is my favorite baroque instrument, and this is easily in my top 3 pieces written for it. That second movement in particular is brilliant. I also love Hasse's usage of the bassoon sometimes doubling the continuo, sometimes acting as a solo instrument. These chamber concertos are so charming. I believe Vivaldi has written a small number of these types of pieces as well with the bassoon acting similarly.
Given your preference - someone should arrange Zelenka's 6 Trio Sonata's (ZWV 181) for Chalumeau - it would be quite different from hearing 2 oboes. Also great bassoon solos, extremely difficult.
@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno Just checked the first sonata. The first movement can be played as is with no modifications at all. The second movement can probably be played, but it has a few high Bb's, which I believe can probably be played, but they will likely sound out of tune on an F chalumeau since they involve an "overblowing" technique, like some of the highest notes on the recorder. The third movement goes all the way to a high C. The fourth movement is like the second. Perhaps oboe/chalumeau/bassoon would work, or those notes would just need to be worked around somehow if it were done with two chalumeaux: in the Buxtehude piece I'm doing, I had to make a few octave jumps. The safe range for an F chalumeau is about a 12th higher from its lowest note, depending on the size and key of the instrument.

@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno if it works within the chalumeau's range, I'll do it. I'm already arranging Buxtehude's nun bitten wir for Chalumeau and strings
@@sameash3153 I can't remember if it is within range, but good luck if you decide on it - the set is almost 2 hours in length.
