Giuseppe Sala (publisher)
Giuseppe Sala (* around 1643 in Venice ; † February 1, 1727 there ) was an Italian music publisher , printer and bookseller .
Live and act
Giuseppe Sala founded a music publishing house in Venice in 1676 together with the composer Natale Monferrato , in which a total of 151 works were published by 1716, mainly from the field of vocal and chamber music . After Monferrato's death in 1685, Sala continued to run the company alone. The composers he has published include Albinoni , Bassani , Bernabei , Bononcini , Bonporti , Caldara , Cazzati , Corelli , Gasparini , Llimi , Marcello , Torelli , Vitali and Vivaldi .
From around 1710, Sala and other Italian music publishers were gradually pushed out of the market because of their backward printing technology and lack of distribution opportunities. Competitors like Estienne Roger in Amsterdam , in contrast to the incoherent, mobile types of Italians, worked with tastefully designed copperplate engravings and had an international dealer network, which prompted more and more Italian composers to have their works printed abroad. After 1716 no new publications from Sala are documented.
