Who even wants to listen to the fifth best Baroque composer? Handel, Purcell, Telemann, Rameau, Couperin, Vivaldi, Scarlatti. Take your pick from these and many others. They all have riches to discover.
Albinoni was the fifth best Baroque composer (Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Telemann): I would listen, and do. Or maybe Tartini. And I can stream any of them, and more (including the fifth best Baroque composer, Jan Dismas Zelenka).
I put a cassette tape together (Remember those?) with music for my father's memorial service in June 1997. I had the funeral home play the first cut, Albinoni's Adagio in G, as people came in. It was perfect. It's probably my favorite piece of Baroque music.

. . . . and are all better than the Dead Kennedys.
You type faster than I do. And have better taste. Thanks for the reminder.
The amazing access to music books, papers, and images online is truly breathtaking.

Yes. I had it on a CD (remember those?) titled "Greatest Hits of 1720."
Thanks for asking. By the way, if you go to this link, you can hear a beautiful rendition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMbvcp480Y4
And read some of the comments. A lot of people got out of it what I get out of it.
... and the GREAT stock of Caplanesque writings to inspire and reassure me ... and SOME others!
