Breitkopf & Härtel
Breitkopf & Härtel is the world's oldest music publishing house. The firm was founded in 1719 in Leipzig by Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf. In 2019 Breitkopf & Härtel celebrates the 300th anniversary of its foundation. Vision in entrepreneurial decisions, successful selection of artistic partners and editions of consistently high quality have brought the publishing house to its current position at the forefront of the music world.
Breitkopf & Härtel's catalogue contains over 1,000 composers, 8,000 works and 15,000 music editions or books on music. The name "Härtel" was added when Gottfried Christophe Härtel took over the company in 1795. In 1807, Härtel began to manufacture pianos, an endeavour which lasted until 1870. The Breitkopf pianos were highly esteemed in the 19th century by pianists like Franz Liszt and Clara Schumann
The company has consistently supported contemporary composers and had close editorial collaboration with Beethoven, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and Brahms. In the 19th century they also published the first "complete works" editions of various composers, for instance Bach, Mozart, Schubert. This tradition continues today with prominent contemporary composers.
