The Pfefferkorn Musikverlag was a music publisher for classical music, based in Leipzig .
history
The Pfefferkorn Musikverlag was founded in 1996 in Leipzig by Nick Pfefferkorn. After a publishing break and the restructuring of the program, publishing began in 2004 on a new basis. The Chamber Music Edition (EK) created a platform for works of chamber music from different eras and styles. As in the orchestral library (OB) , the focus was on rediscovered or unknown works by different masters. The publication of contemporary classical music was also a focus.
The music-theoretical education for children and young people also played a role for the publishing house with the series of educational literature (MVPL) : The basics of music theory by Ines Kunze is now an official recommendation for teaching materials by the Association of German Music Schools (VdM).
The publishing business was discontinued in 2017. Parts of the catalog were taken over into the range of the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house , for which the publisher's founder Nick Pfefferkorn also worked.
Scientific projects
The publisher succeeded in rediscovering the works of the composers father and son Eduard Franck and Richard Franck : The extensive works of the composers, conductors and pianists are viewed, processed and published by the publisher. In close cooperation with the descendants of the composers, Paul Feuchte in Freiburg and Andreas Feuchte in Hamburg, the entire publication of the printed and posthumous works is planned in a uniform text format.
In 2010 the string quartets op. 41 by Robert Schumann were published in the unabridged original version . This edition reproduces Schumann's unchanged musical text for the quartets for the first time and contains all the bars and bar groups that Schumann deleted before going to press. In November 2009, the Leipzig String Quartet (LSQ) decided to use the Pfefferkorn Musikverlag edition for its new CD for the Schumann Year 2010 and thus presented the world premiere of the quartets. The CD was released by the Dabringhaus & Grimm , Musikproduktion label and is now considered a reference recording of Schumann's string quartets.
