Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.

  • Islands of the North Atlantic Jew's Harp Association
    IoNAJHA newsletter – Special Edition ‘Oxford Firsts’ Islands of the North Atlantic Jew’s Harp Association IoNAJHA Newsletter – Special Edition Introduction The ‘Oxford Firsts’ conference held in Oxford on Saturday, 28th April 2007, proved to be more successful than could have been imagined. Around 30 participants attended the conference, while approximately 80 people came to the concert. While these are not large figures, they were above what was anticipated, considering the short notice of set up and promotion and the relatively small interest the Jew’s harp has here in the UK. ‘Oxford Firsts’ was a joint event co-organised by the Islands of the North Atlantic Jew’s Harp Association and The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments. The aim of the conference and concert that took place on Saturday, 28th April 2007 in Oxford was to provide an opportunity for local and national players of the Jew’s harp to come to a greater understanding of the international and national significance of the instrument, along with raising its profile to a general audience. The conference was attended by players and enthusiasts from around the UK, Europe and Asia, while the concert audience included those interested in specific items, such as the classical section, and local residents who appreciate all genres of music. The name, ‘Oxford Firsts’, was chosen as it indicated the fact that a number of firsts for the UK took place during the day. They included the first conference and concert dedicated to the Jew’s harp; the first visit of international players from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and Japan; the first performance of a classical piece written especially for the Jew’s harp in 1768; the first performances of pieces arranged for the event, and the first showing of children’s artwork particularly produced brought from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) for the occasion.
