A number of concertos (as well as non-concerto works) have been written for the oboe, both as a solo instrument as well as in conjunction with other solo instrument(s), and accompanied by string orchestra, chamber orchestra, full orchestra, concert band, or similar large ensemble.
These include concertos by the following composers:
The Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor, attributed to Alessandro Marcello, is one of the most performed oboe concertos in the repertory. It was written in the early 18th century and has become Marcello's most famous work. Bach wrote a keyboard transcription of the concerto.
Attribution
Although the concerto was first published as Alessandro's in the early 18th century, it was grouped with Vivaldi concertos in some 18th century manuscripts and the 19th century first print of Bach's arrangement. One manuscript of the oboe version attributed it to Alessandro's brother Benedetto, and that was how the concerto was known for a large part of the 20th century, but from the late 20th century the concerto is generally again attributed to Alessandro.
The Oboe Concerto in E-flat major is an oboe concerto by Vincenzo Bellini, most likely composed in 1823. Bellini's only surviving concerto, the piece is also an important part of his limited instrumental output. Performances typically last between seven and eight minutes.
Background
In 1819, at the age of eighteen, Bellini received a scholarship to the Conservatorio di San Sebastiano in Naples. He composed the Oboe Concerto during his studies.Gramophone called the piece "a product of his youth". Some other works composed by Bellini during the period included sacred music and fifteen symphonies (six of which are lost). In addition, fragments exist for two other concertos for woodwind instruments composed around the time: a bassoon concerto in G major that remains incomplete and a draft for a flute concerto in A major.
Structure and analysis
The work is scored for solo oboe and an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, tho bassoons, two French horns, and strings. It is in one movement with three distinct sections:

Puzzles ... Crossword. Polygon. Sudoku ... Perhaps the most stunning display in the evening’s showcase of ultra-modernist rarities was in Bruno Maderna’s OboeConcerto No 3, by Nicholas Daniel, who wore silver-studded trousers to match the music’s sparkle ... .
In the years since, we’ve made progress, of sorts ... But are we any happier? I’m not convinced ... As Morrissey sings in his song ‘OboeConcerto’, ‘the older generation have tried, sighed and died – which pushes me to their place in the queue’ ... .
00.00 06.59... A quick test of age ... Anyway, the man who composed all those scores also wrote concertos for violin, cello, oboe and guitar – and one of the most original cycles of British symphonies since Malcolm Arnold ... After that it’s just £1 a week ... .
