Re: Did Brahms hate the oboe?

I can only assume as the piano and violin were the forces to be reckoned with in the Romantic era as these were the 'showy' instruments, the oboe as a solo or chamber instrument fell by the wayside, whereas the clarinet has the range and tone that suited chamber music better and Brahms used this (even though the clarinet too was largely pushed aside by the popularity of the piano and violin).
