Music Publishing in Vienna
Abstract
This chapter seeks to define the broad contours of the Viennese music publishing landscape and the conditions that informed its development, notably the symbiotic relationship between printing technologies, markets and repertories and their varying calibrations in different periods, and the impact of emerging ideas of intellectual property and performing rights in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It pays particular attention to the activities of Artaria and other late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century publishers, as well as to developments among Viennese publishers in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
