Program notes by Matthew Dirst: As music director to the cities of Frankfurt (1712–21) and Hamburg (1721–67), the indefatigable Georg Philipp Telemann composed thousands of works for various church and civic occasions. Over the course of an extraordinarily long career, he also produced reams of instrumental music, publishing much of it himself for distribution throughout Europe. His Concerto in E Minor for Two Oboes and Violin TWV 53:e2 follows an unusual formal plan: following the Andante, the sources direct players to return to the Allegro before concluding with the Menuet. This creates a substantial opening movement of three distinct sections—each with its own key center, melodic material, and virtuosic solo riffs—followed by a lilting Menuet scored for the tutti without solos.
