A Leipzig house
and the study score.
Ernst Eulenburg (1847–1926) founded his publishing house in Leipzig in 1874. The first two decades focused mostly on educational and choral works. Then, in 1891 and 1894, Eulenburg acquired the study-score series of Payne in Leipzig and E. Donajowski in London — the foundation of the famous Eulenburg's Kleine Partitur-Ausgabe.
Ernst's son Kurt joined the firm in 1911 and took over after his father's death in 1926. The yellow-covered Eulenburg pocket scores became — and remain — the universal study-score format for the Western classical canon. Over 1,200 scores in print, from Bach Brandenburgs through Mahler symphonies through Stravinsky ballets.

Pocket-sized.
Scholarly-edited.
The Eulenburg miniature score format remains the standard study edition for orchestral and chamber music. Each score includes the full conductor's music, scholarly notes on the sources, and a binding designed to fit in the music student's bag.
The catalogue today is part of Schott Music — the historic Mainz house with which Eulenburg has shared a publishing family since the mid-20th century. Eulenburg titles appear under the Schott imprint while retaining the yellow-cover Eulenburg branding generations of musicians grew up with.
