Oboes and bassoons were frequent soloists in the 18th century. [[Handel]] wrote notable oboe concerti, as did [[Vivaldi]] and [[Tomaso Albinoni|Albinoni]]. [[Mozart]] wrote concertos for both oboe and bassoon and it is from this time that the modern instruments stem. The wind ensemble, be it the classical wind quintet or the village band, could not exist without members of the family. The use of the oboe as the featured instrument in both chamber works (e.g. [[sonata]]s) or [[concerto]]s into this century. Its unique expressiveness was used to full effect by [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]] in his “Ten Blake Songs” for tenor and oboe. Vaughan Williams also wrote a masterful oboe concerto, as did [[Richard Strauss]]. And even in orchestral works not written specifically as solo showcases, there are countless prominent oboe solos which are always highlights of the work; a venerable tradition experienced in [[Beethoven]]'s Fifth Symphony (first movement), [[Brahms]]'s violin concerto (second movement), and [[Samuel Barber]]'s violin concerto (also the second movement).
