From the 21st to the 26th of May 2010, Symphonie Fantastique came together in Vienna for its second project. We played Neukomm’s Septet for winds and double bass, Beethoven’s Septet Op. 20 and Onslow’s Nonet on 19th Century Viennese and Mitteleuropean instruments. What kind of period ensemble is this that plays Onslow, who worked in France, on Austrian instruments? The answer lies at the heart of the Symphonie Fantastique approach…

I have been looking for months for a Viennese flute. This week I found two… Symphonie Fantastique time is approaching.
J. T. Uhlmann – Wien
Johann Tobias Uhlmann (Kronach 1776 – Vienna 1838) has been oboist at the Theater an der Wien as well as Woodwind Maker. His sons Jacob and Leopold joined him in 1833. The firm was described in 1837 as “one of the most important… all sorts of woodwind instruments and brass instruments supplied to the Austrian Army and exports to Egypt, Brazil, Persia, the British Army in Malta”. [The New Langwill Index: A dictionary of Musical Wind-Instrument Makers & Inventors.]
Franz Muss – Wien
Franz Muss was maker in Vienna in the second half of the 19th Century. He died in 1904. This instrument follows the tradition of the German Meyer flutes with the ivory headjoint but the key system is Viennese.
