Charles Triébert

Charles Louis Triébert (31 October 1810 – 18 July 1867)[1] was a French oboist and instrument-maker.

Life

Triebert was born in Paris in 1810; his father Guillaume Triebert [de] (1770–1847) and brother Frédéric Triebert (1813–1878) were wind instrument makers.[1][2][3][4]

He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, and took the first oboe prize in Gustave Vogt's class in 1829. He was known to have an excellent tone, great execution, and good style; he was a noted player at the Théâtre des Italiens, and in the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire.[1]

Although older sources attribute much instrument-making to Charles Triebert, he carried on his oboe-playing with earnestness and had little if any time to spend in the family's woodwind manufactory. His brother Frédéric, by contrast, was primarily an instrument maker, as had been their father Guillaume. The System 4 oboe invented by Frédéric circa 1843 was known as the "system Charles Triebert" because of the latter's use of it.

Confusion is not limited to Charles Triebert's role in making oboes; the very family name, "Triebert", has been corrupted in some English sources into "Triébert". The latter spelling was invented in Grove's Encyclopedia in 1889 and was never used by the Triebert family.

Charles composed much music for his instrument: original pieces, arrangements of operatic airs, and (with Eugène Louis-Marie Jancourt) fantaisies-concertantes for oboe and bassoon. At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 Frédéric Triebert, not Charles, obtained a medal for his adaptation of the Boehm system to the oboe, and for improved bassoons.[5] [6] Triebert succeeded Stanislas Verroust as professor of the oboe at the Conservatoire in April 1863, and retained the post until his death in 1867.[1]
