From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Schuberth & Co. was a New York-based music publisher founded around 1872. The firm's namesake, Edward Schuberth (né Eduard Ferdinand Schuberth; 1836–1909), was a son of Julius Ferdinand Georg Schuberth (1804–1875), Leipzig and Hamburg music publisher. Edward Schuberth was listed as a music dealer in New York as early as 1869. But the firm, sometime around 1880, was owned and operated by Jürgen Friedrich Heinrich Meyer (1838–1913), a New York merchant dealing in imports and exports.[i]

History

[edit]

Edward Schuberth began his association with the New York branch of the Leipzig publisher Julius Schuberth in 1858.

In 1899, the firm was located at 23 Union Square, near 14th Street. The firm was the first in the United States to publish the works of Victor Herbert.
