Musical artist
Jacob Hendrik "Jaap" Stotijn (The Hague, 22 September 1891 – The Hague, 5 April 1970) was a Dutch oboist. He was also active as a pianist and conductor. Jaap Stotijn has been credited as the founder of the Dutch school of oboe playing.[1] "The Dutch style ... is the product of the distinctive reed-making and playing style of Jaap Stotijn."[2] Contemporary oboists in this lineage include Han de Vries, Koen van Slogteren (nl), Peter Bree, Bart Schneemann, and the current principal oboe in Stotijn's orchestra, Pauline Oostenrijk (nl).
