Sinfonia in B-flat major for two oboes, two horns and strings
(Redirected from Sinfonia in B major for 2 oboi, 2 corni e archi)
Sinfonia in B-flat major for 2 oboes, 2 horns and strings is one of several instrumental works by Domenico Cimarosa. The parts for this particular Sinfonia are located in the Zentralbibliothek in Solothurn, Switzerland.[1] The instrumentation of this work was written perfectly for the orchestras in Naples which maintained two oboes, two trumpets (who doubled on horn), and strings.[2]
Though there are few current recordings of the Sinfonia with 2 oboes, 2 horns and strings, a similar version of the sinfonia written with solo flute was recorded in 2009 as part of a project to record music from the private collection of Bertel Thorlvaldsen. The music from both pieces is almost exactly the same except for the change in solo instruments.[3]
