Schittke's Concerto Grosso No. 3 was commissioned by the Rundfunk der DDR (East German Radio) in 1985 and on the occasion of five composers having notable anniversaries in a year ending with the number 85: Heinrich Schütz, who was born in 1585; Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Domenico Scarlatti, who were all born in 1685; and Alban Berg, who was born in 1885.
The third concerto in G major is again in three movements (the opening Largo is too brief to be counted as a movement). There is little doubt that this concerto was compiled by Walsh from a number of pieces by Handel. The concerto is scored for one oboe (can also be replaced by a transverse flute), one bassoon, strings, and continuo. [3]
(A note by the composer in the printed score states that the work may also be performed by a string quartet, completely omitting the double-bass part.) It is based on lute songs by Besard, a piece for Baroque guitar by Ludovico Roncalli , and lute pieces by Santino Garsi da Parma and additional anonymous composers.

The lautenwerck (also spelled lautenwerk), alternatively called lute-harpsichord (lute-clavier) or keyboard lute, is a European keyboard instrument of the Baroque period. It is similar to a harpsichord , but with gut (sometimes nylon ) rather than metal strings (except for the 4-foot register on some instruments), producing a mellow tone.
A continuous bass was the rule in Baroque music; its absence is worth mentioning and has a reason, such as describing fragility. The specific character of a movement is often defined by wind instruments, such as oboe , oboe da caccia , oboe d'amore , flauto traverso , recorder , trumpet , horn , trombone , and timpani .
