 DR 6.4: A repertoire list: works of Georg Philip Telemann which utilize oboe d'amore
Current scholarship regarding the oboe d'amore has concentrated in three major areas: surveys of the repertoire available for the instrument, [2] catalogs of extant oboes d'amore from the eighteenth century, [3] and detailed studies of Bach's usage of the instrument.
[4] Composers writing regularly for the oboe d'amore included Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767), Johann Gottlieb Graun (1703-1771), Karl Heinrich Graun (1704-1759), Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749), and Christoph Graupner (1683-1760).
Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the most prolific and respected composers of his time, wrote extensively for the oboe d'amore -- at least twenty-two works which use the instrument can be attributed to Telemann.
