As a Hautboist (spoken: "Oboist") an oboe player was first referred to (after hautbois , the name of the oboe in French ). "Hautboist" was also an officer's rank in the orchestra from the classical period and in classical harmony music, whose bearer led the wind ensemble and who also structured the orchestra's rehearsals (for example by specifying the concert pitch). The title was sometimes used by clarinettists or horn players, but from 1840 onwards it is no longer verifiable in this function.

This later became the term hoboist for a military musician in a musical corps . In the infantry of the German Army the word was in use until around the First World War .
