history

The publishing house was founded in 1957 by the Association of German Composers and Musicologists in Berlin. Nathan Notowicz , the general secretary of the association, became the holder of a license from the Publishing and Book Trade Headquarters in the Ministry of Culture . This made the composers and musicologists the only artists' association in the GDR that was allowed to run its own publishing house. The tasks between Breitkopf & Härtel and the new publishing house were regulated by a voting agreement in November 1957 so that the New Music publishing house limited itself exclusively to contemporary music. He also published the journal Articles on Musicology , which appears several times a year . About thirty people were employed in the publishing house. Because the publishing house was not a state-owned company , the Treuhandanstalt was not involved in 1990 . The Neue Musik publishing house was converted into a GmbH and later sold to the West German Edition Margaux . In 1991, the publisher announced that it was leaving the German Book Trade Association . The documents of the composers' association were transferred to the holdings of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. In 1996 the subsidiary Kreuzberg Records was founded. In 2000 AMA Verlag in Brühl acquired the rights of the contemporary music publisher.
