Universal Edition (UE) is a publishing company, founded on June 1, 1901 in Vienna to compete with German publishing firms and retailers in Leipzig, Germany. After a period of disruption during the annexation of Austria by the Nazi Party, UE regained its prominence in 1952 with the restoration of its original shareholders. The firm continues to operate today.
