history

Bruno Henschel (1900–1978) founded the publishing house in 1945 in East Berlin. In 1951, the Kunst- und Theaterverlag became a stage sales department for music-dramatic works. Many works by well-known composers from the GDR such as Paul Dessau , Georg Katzer , Gerhard Rosenfeld and Rainer Kunad have been published here . In addition, Henschel Musik brought out widely performed interpretations of well-known operas by Mozart and Verdi, among others by Walter Felsenstein , Joachim Herz and Klaus Schlegel.

After reunification, the stage sales company Henschel Musik was privatized and integrated into the Bärenreiter publishing group as Henschel Musik GmbH . In 2001 the publishing house moved from Berlin to Kassel . The name was changed to "Henschel Verlag für Musik GmbH". The publishing house will continue to be represented by Alkor under the name "Henschel Musik".
