"The Premier Oboist of Europe": A Portrait of Gustave Vogt
describes the life and achievements of the most prolific composer
of oboe music in the nineteenth century. This book attempts to
stimulate appreciation of Gustave Vogt (1781-1870) as musician and
historical personality. It brings together portraiture, personal
correspondence, concert reviews, autographs, and countless other
documents including Vogt's Conservatoire exam reports, a detailed
work list of Vogt's compositions, and the first complete
transcription and translation of his unpublished oboe method.
Despite his exceptional career and the seminal position in the
history of the oboe, Vogt's long and active career have been
largely passed over. He is remembered primarily for being the
teacher of oboists who took up posts in France and England. In
truth, however, during his long life Vogt witnessed huge
transformations, affecting not only musical fashion but the social
fabric of the world about him. After being trained at the Paris
Conservatoire, he earned considerable repute from his appearances
in concert hall and salon. Like most artists of his day, Vogt
performed his own compositions but was also praised for his skill
as a chamber musician, most notably in the wind quintet that
premiered the works of Anton Reicha. As well as reawakening
appreciation of a musician, known in his day as Europe's greatest
oboist, this book posits an alternative viewpoint by writing
history from the perspective of a musician caught up in the flow of
his times-an extraordinary personality who was representative of
the place and time in which he lived, rather than an exception to
them.
