Subject: Schottisches

Sheet music for a Schottish, as performed by Hassler's Band, composed by Mark Hassler. Published in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1855. The piece is attributed to a well-known Philadelphia musical family, with Mark Hassler thought to be the first in the USA to use Johann Strauss's style for dances.

Sheet music for "Camp McCod, Schottish," composed and dedicated to the officers and members of the Mobile Cadets by Joseph Bloch. Published in 1851. This six-page piece of sheet music is in very good condition. The Mobile Cadets served in the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. Joseph Bloch, a musician who emigrated from Bingen on the Rhine to Mobile, Alabama in 1848, was a bugler with an artillery unit and blew the bugle at the Battle of Mobile Bay. He published a significant amount of Civil War music and, along with Newburger, was among the first music teachers in Alabama, later establishing the state's first music store.
