Extra Information Contemporaneously referred to as either "The Orchestra Concerto" or "The Second Overture in Amadigi". The former name was given, because it was performed "For the Benefit of the Instrumental Musick" at the King's Theatre benefit night. In early prints of 1st ed. of the Op.3 collection, a spurious concerto (printed as "Op.3 No.4a") was accidentally substituted. This spurious concerto (composer is anonymous) is now referred to as "Op.3 No.4b".
