Samenvatting

Um 1820 entwickelte der Wiener Instrumentenbauer Stephan Koch gemeinsam mit dem Oboen-Virtuosen Joseph Sellner einen Oboen-Typ, der einer der fortschrittlichsten im Europa jener Zeit war. Charakteristika dieser Oboe waren eine recht große Anzahl von Klappen, eine modifizierte Bohrung sowie ein Stimmschlitten. Außerdem wurde sie als voll chromatisch und gleich stimmend in den verschiedensten Tonarten beschrieben. Merkwürdigerweise legen die erhaltenen Oboen von Schott und Alexander - alles Koch/Sellner-Typen - nahe, dass der gleiche Instrumenten-Typ in dieser Zeit auch in Mainz gebaut wurde. Dies ist bemerkenswert, denn die meisten deutschen Hersteller folgten der Dresdener Tradition des Oboenbaus. Zeitgenössische Quellen belegen, dass die Sellner-Oboe von dem Oboisten Foreith (der zuvor in Wien tätig war) und den Instrumentenbauern Kaspar Anton Alexander (der jüngste der vier Brüder Alexander, alle Mainzer Instrumentenbauer) und Franz Ott, der möglicherweise in der Werkstatt von Stephan Koch und Wolfgang Küss gelernt hatte diesen Oboen-Typ herzustellen, nach Mainz gebracht wurde.

abstract = "Around the1820s the Viennese instrument maker Stephan Koch, together with the oboe virtuoso Joseph Sellner, developed an oboe-type that was one of the most advanced of its time in Europe. It was characterised by a relatively large number of keys, a modified bore and a tuning slide, and was said to be fully chromatic and equally in tune at various pitches. Curiously, the extant oboes of Schott and Alexander - all of the Koch/Sellner-type - seem to suggest that the same type of instrument was being built in Mainz during this period. This is remarkable, given that most German makers followed the Dresden tradition. Period sources indicate that the Sellner-oboe may have been brought to Mainz by the oboist Foreith (who had been active in Vienna), and by the makers Kaspar Anton Alexander (youngest of the four Alexander brothers, all Mainz instrument makers), and Franz Ott, who seem to have learned to build this type of oboe with Stephan Koch and Wolfgang K{\"u}ss in Vienna.",
