The green
cover.
Edition Peters opened in Leipzig in 1800. The green-bound performing editions — the standard piano repertoire, the cello sonatas, the violin Bach Sonatas and Partitas, Mahler's symphonies — became the international concert reference across the 19th and 20th centuries.
Now an international group (Leipzig, London, New York) with a parallel scholarly Urtext series. The catalogue covers the standard concert repertoire plus a contemporary line including Cage, Feldman, Birtwistle, and Andriessen.
