---
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.
