History

The company was founded on 17 September 1867 as a branch of the Schlesingerschen Buch- und Musikalien Handlung in Berlin, run by Carl Simon (1842-1918). Simon took over the company on 17 July 1871 and ran it under his own name. For its first 25 years of its existence only published the works of a handful of composers, including: Carl Meyer and Carl Schmeidler (1859-1935). After 1900 its catalog widened a little to include August Reinhard (1831-1912, harmonium works), Sigfrid Karg-Elert, and others.

It was finally taken over by Breitkopf und Härtel in September 1928.
