!!!Universal Edition, UE

Universal Edition, UE, music publishers, founded 1901, since 1914 the 
seat of the company has been situated in the building of the 
Musikverein concert hall. In 1907 its manager E.  Hertzka started to 
turn the UE into a specialised publishing company for contemporary 
music, a policy which was continued under its manager H. Winter from 
1932 (contracts with G.  Mahler, A.  Schoenberg, F.  Schreker, A.  
Webern, A.  Zemlinsky, E.  Krenek, etc.). Between 1919 and 1939 the UE 
published the "Musikblaetter des Anbruchs" and 1920-1945 the 
 Denkmaeler der Tonkunst in Oesterreich. In 1938 the company was 
aryanized, and from 1940 to 1945 it was merged with the Peters-Verlag 
publishing company of Leipzig. In 1945 Yella Hertzka re-established 
the UE in its original form. Today, the company mainly publishes works 
by contemporary composers (G. v.  Einem, F.  Cerha, 
P. Boulez, K. H. Stockhausen, M. Kagel, R.  
Haubenstock-Ramati, etc.).
