Bach’s Oboe Concerto in F major, BWV 1053R, reconstructs a lost original from the harpsichord concerto BWV 1053. It unfolds in three movements of poised elegance and melodic invention.
The opening Allegro presents a buoyant orchestral ritornello, yielding to the oboe’s lyrical entry with flowing semiquaver lines and affectionate dialogue, all in sunny F major.
The central Siciliano, in D minor, offers a poignant lament: the oboe weaves a siciliano rhythm over muted strings, building to expressive heights before subsiding into tender resolution.
The finale, another Allegro, erupts in vivacious 3/8 meter with hunting-horn motifs, the oboe chasing the orchestra through brilliant passages to a triumphant close.
A compact masterpiece of Baroque interplay, clocking under twenty minutes, it showcases the oboe’s singing soul against Bach’s inexhaustible craft.
