Although not a classical aficionado but because of special memories attached to it I love this piece of music that has been used in several films (Rollerball, Gallipoli and Manchester by the sea and quite a few more). My ears pricked when I heard it at the end of "The Doors" and was surprised it was titled "severed garden" .
Wikipedia defines it this way:
The Adagio in G minor for violin, strings, and organ continuo is a neo-Baroque composition popularly attributed to the 18th-century Venetian master Tomaso Albinoni, but actually composed by 20th-century musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto, purportedly based on the discovery of a manuscript fragment by Albinoni. There is a continuing scholarly debate about whether the alleged fragment was real, or a musical hoax perpetrated by Giazotto, but there is no doubt about Giazotto's authorship of the remainder of the work.
