Did Brahms hate the oboe?

Author: DavidK

I love the oboe, and I love Brahms' music. However, I get the feeling that the oboe was Brahms' least favourite wind instrument. Does anyone know? Apparently, the oboe was originally omitted from Serenade No. 1 and the oboe parts in Serenade No. 2 pale in comparison to the flute and clarinet parts. Yes, I know there's the violin concerto solo and some nice lines in his symphonies, but is there any record of Brahms saying/writing anything good or bad about the oboe?
