The Second
Viennese School.
Universal Edition was founded in Vienna in 1901 as a German-language concert-music publisher to rival the established Leipzig houses. By 1910 it had signed Schoenberg, Mahler, Bartók — and through the next decade Berg, Webern, Krenek, Eisler.
After 1945 the catalogue remained the European modernist centre: Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Harrison Birtwistle, Wolfgang Rihm. Mahler's symphonies in the Universal scholarly edition; the Schoenberg-Berg-Webern complete works.
