This charming sheet music for the “Charge of the Uhlans” galop militaire (military gallop) by C. Bohm offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of 19th-century European military music and dance. The galop, a lively dance in 2/4 time, was a popular addition to balls and social events, often depicting scenes of cavalry charges or military life. Composed by C. Bohm, likely a pseudonym or pen name, this piece would have been performed by military bands or orchestras, accompanying the whirling couples on the dance floor. The pencil annotations suggest an owner who cherished this music, perhaps a musician or dance enthusiast, leaving their personal markings as a record of study or performance. Despite its well-loved condition, this sheet music remains a delightful artifact of a bygone era, when such lively compositions brought the spirit of the military into the ballroom, capturing the imagination of dancers and music lovers alike.
