Charles Triébert

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

[1][2][3][4] He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, and took the first oboe prize in Gustave Vogt's class in 1829.

[1] Although much occupied with instrument-making, he carried on his oboe-playing with earnestness, and composed much for the 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 Triébert obtained a medal for his adaptation of the Boehm system to the oboe, and for improved bassoons.

[5][6] Triébert succeeded Stanislas Verroust as professor of the oboe at the Conservatoire in April 1863, and retained the post until his death in 1867.
