Rolla, A. - Oboe quartet in C major

score and parts - P+St - oboe, violin, viola, cello (BI 425)

The two-movement quartet for oboe and string trio by Alessandro Rolla was presumed lost when Luigi Inzaghi and Luigi Alberto Bianchi were preparing their thematic catalogue of the composer’s works in the late 1970s. In actual fact, the autograph score of the work has been held at the Royal Library in Copenhagen since 1929, even though it would appear to have been catalogued and made available to scholars only recently. Thoroughly Classical in terms of its musical language and structure (in spite of some unexpected virtuoso episodes for the violin), the work is a welcome addition to the sparse repertoire of compositions for oboe and strings emanating from early nineteenth-century Italy.
