During the early 18th century, London emerged as a prominent musical hub in Europe, captivating composers, singers, and instrumentalists. The fervor for musical theater drew creative talents to England, catalyzing a surge in chamber music production. Vastly popular with amateurs and ladies of high society. The receptive English audience, often active participants, became a boon for composers and publishers alike, bolstering a rich musical tradition. This sonata, probably by Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), a pivotal Italian figure who settled in London, is a short and colourful piece, probably originally for violin. However, this transcription is presumed to be by the hand of Pietro Chaboud and is a true treat for oboists too.
