12 Concerti a cinque (Albinoni)

12 Concerti a cinque is a collection of concertos by the Italian composer Tomaso Albinoni, published in 1722.
The most famous piece from Albinoni's Opus 9 is the Concerto in D minor for oboe. It is known for its slow movement. This concerto is probably the second best-known work of Albinoni after the Adagio in G minor.
The concertos were dedicated to Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, and were first published by Michel-Charles Le Cène in Amsterdam. It is possible, but not certain, that they were written in the Elector's court during a 1722 visit there by Albinoni during performances of his theatrical compositions. These are perhaps his most recognizable works.
