History

Founded in 1851 by Jacques Maho (07 March 1817 - 17 April 1889). Maho did not make regular deposits of the scores he issued with the French National Library ("as regularly as the law required" - Teller Ratner, "Saint-Saëns' Last 'Concerto'", "Notes", 2nd Series, Vol.48, No.1, Sep.1991, p.20). He joined the SACEM (Société des Auteurs Compositeurs et Editeurs de Musique) only in 1872, 20 years after the founding of the firm. The entire catalog was sold in 1877 to Jacques Hamelle.
