Florian Hermann (1822 – 1892[citation needed], Russian: Флориан Герман, name is also spelled as Florian Herman, Florian German, Florjan Herman)[1] was a composer of German-Polish origin active in the Russian Empire.[2] Although he authored many works, Hermann is primarily notable as an author of the melody used in the music for the well-known Russian song "Dark eyes" (the composer wrote his opus as "Valse hommage", Op. 21).[3] Very little is known about Hermann,[3] Russian publications occasionally describe him as a French[4][5] or Austrian composer.

Hermann's work as a composer spans 1870s – 1890s,[2] according to the list available in a catalog by A. Gutheil (his company was later acquired by Éditions Russes de Musique), the earliest known publications are from A. Büttner in St. Petersburg.[6] Hermann's other best-known composition is "Rêverie russe, Op. 2".[3] "Valse hommage" became famous as "Dark Eyes" after an arrangement in the Gypsy style by S. Gerdal (1884); the popular rendition belongs to Adalgiso Ferraris (ca. 1910).
