This famous piece by George Frideric Handel is the opening sinfonietta to his oratorio Solomon, though it is more often heard today as a standalone concert piece. It was originally written for two oboes and strings, and this piano accompaniment amalgamates the second oboe part and the strings together. Therefore it works particularly well for solo oboe, though other treble instruments can also play this melody.
