history

In 1899 the musicologist Adolf Sandberger , who completed his habilitation at the University of Munich in 1894 and was appointed professor there in 1900, founded the Society for the Publication of Monuments of Music in Bavaria . In doing so, Bavaria placed itself alongside initiatives that had led to the establishment of monuments to German music in Berlin and to the monuments of music in Austria in Vienna . Between 1900 and 1931, 38 volumes of the Monuments of Tonkunst in Bavaria were published , which were initially edited by Sandberger himself, then also by well-known scientists such as Hugo Riemann . Numerous works by largely forgotten composers were published, including those of the Mannheim School , which was due to the later relocation of the Mannheim court to Bavaria. The society was merged in 1958 in the newly founded Society for Bavarian Music History , which has presented numerous other editions since 1967.
