Carl Ludwig Matthes

Carl Ludwig Matthes (born 1751) was a German oboist and composer of the classical era. While Matthes' surviving works are relatively few in number, they do provide some insight into his compositional style. His Six Duets for two oboes, Op. 1, for example, are notable for Composer melodies and elegant harmonies, which are characteristic of the classical style. The Concerto for oboe and orchestra in C major is similarly well-crafted, and showcases Matthes' skill as a soloist and composer.
