I don't think Dvorak hated the oboe either - yes he gave the 2nd oboists some very important and challenging parts to keep them on their toes, but I don't think this was out of spite.

In fact, he was generous and gave a lot of the 2nd wind players important parts so they were on equal footing with the 1st players, although the 2nds do often get the more challenging part than the 1sts in several instances so the 1sts could glance over and say to themselves 'rather you than me'.

The opinions I express are my own.
