Schott Music.
Mozart's first publisher. Founded in 1770 in Mainz by Bernhard Schott — the year of Beethoven's birth — Schott Music is the oldest continuously operating music publishing house with international reach. The editorial home of Wagner, Hindemith, Stravinsky, Henze, Strauss, Penderecki, and the modern German tradition.
Schott Music issued Mozart's first published scores from 1770 and became the publishing home of the German romantic and 20th-century tradition. Wagner trusted them with his operas. Hindemith, Henze, Stravinsky, Strauss and Penderecki all signed long-term contracts. The Eulenburg subsidiary established the pocket study score as a category. The Schott Edition urtext line is a working standard of every European conservatory.
Below: the Schott departmental catalogue. Two dozen editorial departments — from Wagner Editions through Schott Pop — covering operatic and orchestral scores, chamber and solo repertoire, urtext editions, study scores, educational series, and the modern composer-by-composer Schott catalogue.
