This non-string instrument is one of the soloists in BWV 1060R, an attempt to revert J. S. Bach’s C-minor double harpsichord concerto to its original instrumentation. An F-major sarabande is sometimes excerpted from Handel’s third concerto for this instrument, which is in G minor. Arthur Benjamin created a C-major concerto for this instrument by arranging keyboard sonata themes by Domenico Cimarosa. Bach’s BWV 974 is a transcription of Alessandro Marcello’s D-minor concerto for this instrument. This instrument, flute, trumpet, and violin are the four soloists in the second Brandenburg Concerto. A Baroque version of this instrument pitched down a fifth has the phrase “da caccia” (“dah KAHT-chah”) in its name and is the predecessor of the English horn. For 10 points, name this high double-reed woodwind instrument that an orchestra tunes to. ■END■
