The Oboe Concerto in C major, Hoboken number (VIIg:C1), commonly attributed to Joseph Haydn, was most likely composed around 1790.
[2] Charles-David Lehrer believed that the first movement of the concerto was similar to the oboe concertos of Johann Christian Fischer, Johann Christian Bach, and Carl Stamitz, also arguing that it was similar in structure to the Johann Stamitz and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, even though the Haydn concerto had a contrasting B theme.
[3] Though commonly attributed to Haydn, the authorship of the concerto has come into dispute.
In the 1950s, Anthony van Hoboken included the concerto in his catalogue of Haydn's work.
[4] The MGG and the Haynes Catalog of oboe music list the concerto as being the work of Ignaz Malzat.
