Albinoni Collection - Burnt Orange Stripes

ALBINONI COLLECTION

It is ironic that Albinoni's fame stems from a piece of music to which he actually contributed only a handful of notes. In spite of his prolific production, Albinoni's name lives today because of one haunting piece, Adagio in G Minor, that was not written but only sketched by him. In the 1940s, the Italian scholar Remo Giazotto found a fragment from a slow movement of a trio sonata among the ruins of the State Library and based this piece on it. Albinoni had written a bass line, repeating the same notes over and over again; it was his twentieth century editor who added elegiac harmonies and an expressive, elusive tune to produce this beautiful piece.
