Alphonse Leduc.
The French Conservatoire imprint since 1841. Founded in Paris by Alphonse Leduc (1804–1868), the publishing house is the editorial home of the Paris Conservatory contest tradition — the annual Concours repertoire commissioned for graduating students. The catalogue spans Fauré, Delibes, Offenbach, Poulenc, Messiaen and Dutilleux.
Leduc has long been associated with the Paris Conservatoire Concours tradition — the annual repertoire commissioned for graduating students at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Generations of woodwind, brass and piano players have practiced from Leduc-published Tomasi, Bozza, Françaix and Schmitt scores prepared for these examinations.
Below: the Leduc departmental catalogue. The Concours repertoire is catalogued separately by instrument family. Plus the Fauré Requiem, Delibes operas, Offenbach, Poulenc, Messiaen and Dutilleux. In 2014 Leduc joined Wise Music Group alongside Novello, Chester and G. Schirmer.
