G. Henle Publishers is a major player in the music world. It stands for edited sheet music of
the highest quality and in elegant design. The idea for this concept came from Günter Henle a
diplomat industrialist and politician-not to mention a fantastic pianist. Today the
publishing house he ounded in 1948 offers around 1 500 music editions spanning the baroque to
the modern period. This volume narrates the history of the publishing house and has been
published to commemorate its seventy-fifth anniversary. It covers the early makeshift years
the development of the G. Henle catalog and the company's rise to international success. It
also touches on great artists such as Yehudi Menuhin and Rudolf Serkin who had close ties to
the business and its founder. Henle could never have imagined that digital sheet music among
other advances would one day be available for tablets under his name but he would have been
pleased to see his ideas resonating in the present.
