In 1722, Platti moved to Würzburg, Germany, to serve at the court of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn. He continued to work at the Würzburg court under subsequent prince-bishops. Platti was a versatile musician at the court, performing as an oboist, violinist, and cellist, and also composing a variety of works. Giovanni Benedetto Platti composed a wide range of music, including concertos, sonatas, and vocal works, with particularly noteworthy contributions to the oboe repertoire. His music reflects the transition from the Baroque to the Classical style, often featuring expressive melodies, elegant phrasing, and clear forms characteristic of the emerging Classical era. Some of his significant works include his oboe concertos, cello concertos, and harpsichord concertos, while his chamber music, especially sonatas for various instruments, also showcases his compositional skill.
