Carl Bohm

German composer and pianist (1844–1920). [Pseudonym: Henry Cooper] Not to be confused with the Austrian conductor Karl Böhm. Bohm is regarded as one of the leading German songwriters of the 19th century, and wrote such works as Still as the Night (Still wie die Nacht), Twilight, May Bells, Enfant Cheri and The Fountain. Bohm, like Schubert, was more than just a songwriter, composing in most genres. His chamber music consisted of mostly quartets and piano trios, and his Sarabande in G minor remains a standard teaching piece for intermediate violinists and violists.
