This music has an interesting history. Although widely ascribed to Albinoni, an Italian composer of the Baroque period, it was actually written by his biographer around 1945 based on a few fragments he discovered. Remo Giazotto, a musicologist who was at that time writing a biography of the composer, reportedly reconstructed" the music based on the bass line and only six bars of original melody!
