Ottensamer joined the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera in 1979. He became principal clarinetist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1983. He joined the faculty of the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Wien in 1986, and subsequently attained the title of Universitätsprofessor (University Professor) in 2000.[3] He was a founder-member of such chamber ensembles as the Wiener Bläserensemble (Vienna Wind Ensemble), Wiener Virtuosen, and the Wiener Solisten Trio.[4] His elder son Daniel Ottensamer (born 26 July 1986[5]) became co-principal clarinetist with the Vienna Philharmonic alongside his father, and his younger son Andreas Ottensamer (born in 1989) is principal clarinetist of the Berlin Philharmonic. The three of them formed a clarinet ensemble, the Clarinotts. The Clarinotts' first album appeared in 2009, and their second album in 2016. Ivan Eröd composed a triple clarinet concerto for The Clarinotts, who premiered the work with the Vienna Philharmonic in January 2016.[2]
Ottensamer died after a heart attack on 22 July 2017.[6] His widow Cecilia and his sons survive him.
