History

See Company Website

Friedrich Hofmeister opened a music shop in March 1807, and started selling music by 1808. (Franz Liszt and His World, Princeton University Press, 2006, Gibbs & Gooley, p.256.) It later purchased Whistling of Leipzig (1829) (apparently different from F. Whistling), Laue and Christiani of Berlin (1832 and 1840) and Brüggemann of Halberstadt (1832). In the 20th century it bought the rights to many publications of Ernst Challier and Carl Merseburger and bought Hercules Hinz in 1936.

Editions

Important Publications

Monthly publication started in 1829 giving details of publisher issues of over 330,000 titles. The portion through 1900 is now available online, as are all or most more recent volumes through 1947 (the latter through Google Books and at Hofmeister Monatsberichte online at Austrian National Library).

A fully indexed and searchable database is available at the Hofmeister XIX project.

Imprints, Agencies, Addresses

Imprints

  • Friedrich Hofmeister
  • Fr. Hofmeister
  • Fréderic Hofmeister
  • VEB Hofmeister (DDR, 1952-1992 ca.?)

Addresses

  • Leipzig (until 1952, also after; VEB Hofmeister (DDR operation) stays in Leipzig)
  • Frankfurt (1952-1964. Frankfurt house has continuity with founder.) Moves to :
  • Hofheim am Taunus (1964 - 1996) (all according to publisher history page)
  • Leipzig again (1996 to present)

There are scores @ Worldcat with "Hofheim am Taunus: ©1901, Hofmeister" but these are likely renewals of 1901 Leipzig scores during the period 1964-1996 rather than evidence that Hofmeister had a branch in Hofheim as early as 1901?...
