Modern composers
Swiss composers
Oboists

It is sometimes hard to tell when to call a composer modern, as opposed to Romantic. In general you can say that the Moder Eara in music started around the year 1900. However, many composers continued to write pieces in a romantic fashion long after that.

Composers that were born in Switzerland, or gained the Swiss nationality.

Composers who also play the oboe and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.
