History
Edition Peters is a publication house, founded by Franz Anton Hoffmeister and Ambrosius Kühnel on December 1, 1800. Initially known as the "Bureau de Musique," the company was sold to Carl Friedrich Peters after Kühnel's death in 1813, at which point it became "Bureau de Musique C.F. Peters." It was subsequently owned by Carl Gotthelf Siegmund Böhme, the City of Leipzig, Julius Friedländer, Dr. Max Abraham, Henri Hinrichsen, Georg Hillner, and various others. In the early 1900s, the firm split into four companies: Peters Edition Ltd. (London); the C.F. Peters Corporation (New York); the C.F. Peters Musikverlag (Frankfurt/Main); and the Leipzig firm of the Edition Peters. These were unified in August 2010 to form the Edition Peters Group.
