Carl Bohm

Carl Bohm (also spelled Karl Böhm in some sources) (1844-1920) was a German pianist, composer, and music educator. While not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Bohm composed a significant body of salon music, piano pieces, and songs that were popular in their time. His works are generally considered to be in the late Romantic style, characterized by lyrical melodies and accessible harmonies. He is particularly noted for his charming and sentimental compositions, often intended for amateur musicians. While details of his life are somewhat scarce, his compositions continue to be performed and enjoyed, especially by students and enthusiasts of light classical music. Some of his well-known works include piano pieces like "La Zingana" and songs such as "Still wie die Nacht." Bohm's music contributed to the popular musical landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
