The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written around 1730. The concerto consists of three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro assai. The first movement is in a fast tempo and features a lively and energetic melody played by the flute, accompanied by the strings and continuo. The second movement is slower and more expressive, with the flute playing a beautiful and melancholic melody, accompanied by the strings and continuo. The final movement is in a fast tempo and features a lively and playful melody played by the flute, accompanied by the strings and continuo. The concerto is characterized by its virtuosic flute writing, which showcases the instrument's agility and range. The flute is often featured in rapid runs and trills, as well as in expressive and lyrical passages. The string and continuo accompaniment provides a rich and harmonious backdrop for the flute's melodies. Overall, the Concerto for flute, strings & continuo in C major, Op. 7/3, is a beautiful and lively work that showcases the talents of both the composer and the performer. It premiered in the early 18th century and has since become a beloved piece in the flute repertoire.
