Adagio in G minor
Adagio in Sol minore per archi e organo su due spunti tematici e su un basso numerato di Tomaso Albinoni (Mi 26) (Adagio in G minor for strings and organ, on two thematic ideas and a figured bass by Tomaso Albinoni), also known as "Albinoni's Adagio", is a 1958 neo-Baroque composition often misattributed to the 18th-century Venetian composer Tomaso Albinoni. In fact, the work was composed by a 20th-century musicologist and Albinoni biographer named Remo Giazotto. The piece was purportedly based on the discovery of a bass line by Albinoni in a manuscript fragment. Scholarly debate over the existence of the fragment persists, with some seeing the affair as a musical hoax perpetrated by Giazotto.
