The Wilhelm Hansen Catalogue

Hansen is the editorial home of Carl Nielsen — every symphony, every string quartet, every song. The catalogue extends through Sibelius (since 1898), Grieg (since 1880), Niels Gade and the Danish romantic tradition. Modern Scandinavian voices — Per Nørgård, Holmboe, Hartmann, Bent Sørensen — continue the imprint into the 21st century.

Below: the Hansen departmental catalogue, composer-first for Nielsen, Sibelius and Grieg, then format and discipline. The Hansen jazz and educational catalogues are also represented.
