The analysis of artefacts from Theobald Böhm’s Second Flute Workshop is crucial for understanding 19th-century music industry developments and craftsmanship. This study aims to analyze the reception of Böhm’s reforms and their popularization among specialists and intellectuals, particularly in the capital of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, part of the Austrian Empire. The main methods include analysis of archival materials, comparison of newly manufactured flutes with previous forms, and retrospective analysis. The study examines Böhm’s activities and focuses on his second workshop (1855-1858). The investigation of Lviv artefacts from Böhm’s workshop is of significant scientific and cultural interest, enhancing our understanding of flute evolution and Böhm’s contributions. The study highlights the importance of Böhm’s flute artefacts in the history of flute art, refining and complementing existing knowledge and supporting further research. The early years following Böhm’s 1847 reform reveal the shock and varied reactions of industry experts, including rejection, refutation, adaptation, or acceptance of Böhm’s inventions. The initial stages of mastering these new instruments in European provincial centers, such as Lviv, provide unique insights into the professional crisis triggered by the reform. The Lviv example illustrates distinct attitudes towards Böhm’s innovations and general trends filtered through Galician consciousness and mentality. This study utilizes previously unpublished archival information and facts, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal event in flute history.

THEOBALD BÖHM’ÜN FLÜT ATÖLYESİNE AİT LVIV (LEMBERG) ESERLERİ

Öz

Theobald Böhm'ün İkinci Flüt Atölyesi'nden çıkan eserlerin analizi, 19. yüzyıl müzik endüstrisindeki gelişmeleri ve zanaatkârlığı anlamak için çok önemlidir. Bu çalışma, Böhm'ün reformlarının kabulünü ve özellikle Avusturya İmparatorluğu'nun bir parçası olan Galiçya ve Lodomeria Krallığı'nın başkentinde uzmanlar ve entelektüeller arasında popülerleşmesini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ana yöntemler arasında arşiv materyallerinin analizi, yeni üretilen flütlerin önceki formlarla karşılaştırılması ve geriye dönük analizler yer almaktadır. Çalışma Böhm'ün faaliyetlerini inceliyor ve ikinci atölyesine (1855-1858) odaklanıyor. Böhm'ün atölyesine ait Lviv eserlerinin incelenmesi, flüt evrimi ve Böhm'ün katkıları hakkındaki anlayışımızı geliştirerek önemli bir bilimsel ve kültürel ilgi alanı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, Böhm'ün flüt eserlerinin flüt sanatı tarihindeki önemini vurgulamakta, mevcut bilgileri iyileştirmekte, tamamlamakta ve daha ileri araştırmaları desteklemektedir. Böhm'ün 1847 reformunu takip eden ilk yıllar, endüstri uzmanlarının Böhm'ün icatlarını reddetme, çürütme, uyarlama veya kabul etme gibi şok ve çeşitli tepkilerini ortaya koymaktadır. Lviv gibi Avrupa'nın taşra merkezlerinde bu yeni araçlarda ustalaşmanın ilk aşamaları, reformun tetiklediği mesleki krize dair benzersiz bilgiler sunmaktadır. Lviv örneği, Böhm'ün yeniliklerine yönelik farklı tutumları ve Galiçya bilinci ve zihniyetinden süzülen genel eğilimleri göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, daha önce yayınlanmamış arşiv bilgilerini ve olguları kullanarak flüt tarihindeki bu önemli olayın kapsamlı bir şekilde anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır.
