Phillip Sear plays an (unusually) impassioned nocturne (published in 1883) by the German composer Carl Bohm (1844-1920). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bohm (1844-1920) was an eminent German composer of salon music, and a 'cash cow' for his publisher Simrock, who apparently used the profits on his pieces to finance publication of works by Brahms. As well as piano music he also wrote violin and chamber music. Most pieces by non-Italian composers of the period that relate to Naples are tarantellas, so it is interesting to find this impassioned nocturne. Maybe Bohm had been there and fell in love...
