Adagio in G minor (Albinoni-Giazotto) reduction for piano

This version is different from the other performances on Youtube in that I have used the sostenuto (middle) pedal instead of the sustained (right) pedal. This serves to achieve a sustained bass note to simulate the organ, while the upper bass notes play staccato to simulate the strings' pizzicato. Also, there is less smudging of the melody.

Also known as "Adagio by Albinoni", this is actually a composition by the scholar Giazotto who claimed to have found a tiny manuscript fragment by Albinoni and extrapolated the rest of the piece from that. However, that fragment has never been found even after Giazotto's death. The full title of this work is "Adagio in G minor for strings and organ, on two thematic drafts and on a figured bass by Tamaso Albinoni" (L'Adagio in sol minore per archi e organo, su due spunti tematici e su un basso numerato di Tomaso Albinoni).

This is the piano reduction by publisher Casa Ricordi. The arranger is not credited.
