Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) was a prolific Baroque-era composer whose works are now rarely performed. However, he was much admired by J.S. Bach who used examples of Albinoni's music in his teaching, as well as using some of Albinoni's themes as the basis for some of his own pieces. "Elegy for Albinoni" is a beautiful memorial piece in honor of this musical master, and uses a romantic tone to set the stage for a theme based on one of Albinoni's violin sonatas. A rewarding work!
