Oboe Concerto No. 1

Composer: LEBRUN, Ludwig August
  • Lebrun’s first Oboe Concerto was part of a set of seven published individually in Paris between c. 1776-1784.1
  • Lebrun’s oboe concertos were likely originally intended for his own performance.2
  • German writer and organist C.F.D. Schubart said that Lebrun “attained the maximum of perfection on the oboe” (Deutsche chronik, ii, 1775, no.52, p.411).3
