Abstract

Karoline Przyrembel is one of the very few touring flutists working in the first 
half of the nineteenth century. She was a native of Warsaw. She first appears in concert in 
Poland in 1830, then in Brno (Brünn) in 1831. The article traces her touring and 
performances through western Europe during the 1830’s, and her eventual deportation into 
Russia in 1848 in the course of her effort to return to Warsaw, ending with an escape to 
Berlin. Gives details regarding her connection with Ludwig Spohr, who wrote a testimonial 
for her in 1832, and to whom she wrote asking for help in 1848.
