"In 1945, Remo Giazotto, a Milanese musicologist traveled to Dresden to complete his biography of Albinoni and his listing of Albinoni's music. Among the ruins, he discovered a fragment of manuscript. Only the bass line and six bars of melody had survived, possibly from the slow movement of a Trio Sonata or Sonata da Chiesa. It was from this fragment that Giazotto reconstructed the now-famous Adagio, a piece which is instantly associated with Albinoni today, yet which ironically Albinoni would doubtless hardly recognize."
i bet this is the Adagio that Above & Beyond used..
how cool that the melody was found in some ancient ruins.(most of Albinonis work is lost). but this has nothing to do with the discussion just thought id share it (i was bored and googled)
