Christian Frederik Barth
(Copenhagen, 24 February 1787 - Middelfart, Fyn, 17 July 1861)

Danish oboist and composer, son of Christian Samuel Barth (1735-1809). He came from a dynasty of oboists and was probably one of the most important. He was a pupil of his father and at the age of 15 he joined the royal orchestra in Copenhagen. In 1804 he won a scholarship and settled in Berlin, where he fastly was praised as oboist. On his return to Copenhagen, then 18 years old, was appointed principal oboist, and on frequent concert tours in Europe soon won international fame as one of the greatest artists on his instrument. As a composer, he was mainly known by his set of five oboe concertos. He also wrote a Rondeau suisse for oboe and orchestra in E, a Grande sinfonie for wind instruments and several overtures as well as many chamber music for oboe. He retired from the royal orchestra in 1841 and was not involved with music for the last 20 years of his life. His brother Philip Barth (1774-1804) was also oboist and composer, and member of the royal orchestra in Copenhagen.
