The Oboe Concerto No. 1 in B flat major (
HWV 301) was composed by
George Frideric Handel for oboe, orchestra and
basso continuo. It was first published in the fourth volume of ''Select Harmony'' by
Walsh in 1740.
Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as
HG xxi, 85; and
HHA iv/12,17.
The concerto is thought to be an early work of Handel's,
however the attribution to Handel has been questioned on stylistic grounds
