Remark to the occupation Hautboist:
Hautboist (pronounced "oboist") was first the name given to an oboe player (after hautbois, the name of the oboe in French). From the Classical period onward, "hautboist" was also an officer's rank in the orchestra and in classical harmony music, whose bearer led the wind ensemble and who also structured the orchestra's rehearsals (for example, by indicating the concert pitch). The title was also sometimes used by clarinetists or horn players, but there is no evidence of it in this capacity after 1840.
Later it became the term hoboist for a military musician in a music corps. In the infantry of the German Army, the word was in use until about the First World War.
Because he was member of the Regiment Wurmle, he was a military musician.
