The piece was composed in the spring or summer of 1777, for the Italian oboist and composer Giuseppe Ferlendis (1755–1802) from Bergamo. In 1778, Mozart reworked it as the Concerto for flute in D major. The concerto is a widely studied piece for both instruments and is one of the more important concerti in the oboe repertoire.
