!!!Artaria

Artaria, former Viennese art and music publisher, cartographic section 
merged with Freytag und Berndt  Freytag-Berndt und Artaria KG in 1920, 
remaining company closed in 1931. Founded in 1765 in Mainz, the 
company moved to Vienna in 1766 (from 1771 as 
Artaria & Comp.). Under Domenico Artaria, the company became 
one of the most important music dealers in Vienna by publishing music 
of the Vienna Classic period (especially J.  Haydn and L. van  
Beethoven). Since 1789 the company has been located on Kohlmarkt in 
the 1st district of Vienna. From the middle of the 19th century the 
company moved more and more towards becoming a publisher of maps. 
Artaria resumed its activity as a music publisher towards the end of 
the century because of a friendship with Guido  Adler; in 1894-1918 
Artaria published the  "Denkmaeler der Tonkunst in Oesterreich". 
The publishing house's famous collection of original manuscripts 
dating back to its earliest years was sold and moved to Bonn in 1897.
