Oskar Böhme Revisited
In 1997 the ITG Journal published my article, “The Böhme Brothers, Oskar and Willi.” Under the simpler title, “The Böhme Brothers,” it has since been expanded into Chapter 5 of my book, “East Meets West,” which at the time of this writing is going to press under the auspices of the Historic Brass Society (HBS) and the International Trumpet Guild (ITG) in the Pendragon Press’ Bucina series. Here I will only dwell briefly on that material, in order to examine certain aspects of Böhme and his time in greater detail. (NB. There will be no footnotes in the sections of this article derived from “East Meets West,” where all relevant details can be found.)
