A Brief History a fabulous Peters | Grow In Knowledge

Carl Friedrich Peters

In 1806 the business passed into the sole ownership of A. K?hnel when it was officially registered under the name Neuer Verlag des Bureau de Musique. Forkel augmented the Bach series by the addition of the composers Organ Works. Other additions comprised Gerbers Dictionary of Musicians and educational works for piano and violin written by celebrated Viennese/Parisian academicians of the day. In 1812 the range was enhanced by works representative of the early Romantic School, such as those of Weber and Spohr.
Following K?hnels untimely death, the firm was acquired by the Leipzig bookseller Carl Friedrich Peters (1779-1827), who traded from 1 April 1814 under the name Bureau de Musique de C.F. Peters. Despite the economic malaise that followed the War of Liberation (1813-15), catalogues were issued by the publisher, new additions being Theodor K?rners War Songs and John Fields Nocturnes. Negotiations conducted with Beethoven involving the publication of a complete edition of the composers works fell through.
After a long illness, C.F. Peters died in 1827. The business went to his seven-year-old daughter and was acquired from her in 1828 by her Guardian, the manufacturer Carl Gotthelf Siegmund B?hme (1785-1855). A great lover of music, B?hme widened the publishing activities with a large number of new acquisitions besides attracting Carl Czerny to the staff as editor of the Bach series, including the Solo Concertos, Brandenburg Concertos, the Orchestral Suites and the Art of Fugue. B?hme also played an active role in the formation of the first confederation of music publishers for the purpose of securing legal protection. A most influential body, this alliance included such names as Andr?, Breitkopf & H?rtel, Hofmeister, Peters, Schott and Simrock.
In compliance with B?hmes last will and testament, the business was converted into a charitable foundation under the control and supervision of the Leipzig City Council. During this period the business was managed by Theodor Whistling, but when he resigned in 1860 the Board of Administrators resolved to dispose of the firm to the bookseller and music dealer, Julius Friedl?nder. Friedl?nder introduced substantial improvements to the process of music engraving and drew the attention of the public to cheap yet critically accurate editions.
