- This concerto comes from Babell’s 6 Concertos in 7 Parts, Op. 3, which was published in London, c.1726.1
- This concerto was originally scored for the “sixth flute” as its solo instrument. A sixth flute was a soprano/descant recorder in D. 2
- That’s why, in the original score, this is a Concerto in D.
