Hans Oesch
Hans Rolf Oesch (born September 10, 1926 in Wolfhalden ; † May 7, 1992 in Anwil ) was a Swiss musicologist .
Life
From 1946 to 1951, Oesch studied musicology with Jacques Handschin at the University of Basel , where he completed his doctorate. In 1959 he completed his habilitation at the University of Zurich and then worked as a music reviewer for the National-Zeitung and as a lecturer in Basel.
In 1967, when he was appointed full professor, he also became head of the Musicological Institute and thus successor to Leo Schrade . He expanded the institute's collection of instruments with Southeast Asian instruments that Oesch had brought back on his ethnomusicological research trips. He was also involved in the complete edition of Arcangelo Corelli's works and from 1986 worked as the scientific director of the Paul Sacher Foundation.
In 1991 Oesch retired and was replaced by Wulf Arlt ; a few months later he died.
