Marcello Concerto

Author: kdk ★2017

I'm a clarinetist who normally reads and posts on the clarinet BB, but I've come up with some questions about the Marcello oboe concerto that I hope will turn out to be a more familiar topic here.

I'm writing program notes for a local youth orchestra. The program includes the Marcello. Two questions:

1. The score attributes the concerto to Benedetto Marcello. As I've begun to research it on the web, I'm finding that it has been more recently attributed to his brother Alessandro instead. When did this change become generally accepted and is there any documentation I can access (preferably online) that would give more background?

2. I've seen the concerto written and referred to in both C minor and D minor. I know Bach adapted it for clavichord (BWV 974) and used D minor. I've read that early 18th century editions of the original oboe concerto have been found in both keys. The score I'm working with (which is a Xerox of the conductor's score for this concert) is in C minor, and two oboists with whom I rehearsed last night both know it only in C minor. Which key is considered by modern scholars to have been the original oboe key?

Thanks for any insight.
