Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Holding one of the longest appointments as oboe professor of the Paris Conservatoire (1816-1853), Gustave Vogt was one of the most influential oboe instructors of the nineteenth century. Many of his students became important figures in the development of the oboe as performers, instrument makers, composers and writers of method books that are still in use today. Vogt produced an incredible output of works for the oboe and English horn, the majority of which remain unknown to modern oboists and are rarely performed. The fact that Gustave Vogt and his works are largely undiscovered is what led me to pursue a study of a selection of his compositions. To provide an understanding of the pieces to be transcribed, the first chapters of this document discuss the life of Vogt, his career as an educator, performer and composer and his impact as an oboist of the nineteenth century. Today there is only a small amount of solo repertoire for English horn. The purpose of this study is to begin the process of creating modern editions of Vogt’s works that can be added to the English horn repertoire. I have created modern performing editions from three of Vogt’s unpublished works for English horn, Adagio pour le Cor Anglais, Andante Grazioso and Petite Piece en Fa mineur and I discuss performance issues that may have existed in relation to the technical aspects required of Vogt and the English horn on which he would have performed.
