Giuseppe Sammartini, qui était considéré comme l'un des plus importants compositeurs de musique instrumentale de son temps, maintenu dans ce concerto un cadre conventionnel - cependant, il a utilisé les possibilités instrumentales - notamment dans le dialogue entre l'instrument soliste et l'orchestre - avec imagination et d'une manière inhabituelle./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec Soprano et Cordes
