Schott

The Schott Music programme, comprising performance and teaching literature urtext editions, concert and opera editions, study scores, important critical editions, books on music, specialist magazines, sound carriers and multimedia products, influences all areas of musical activities. A central core has been the publication of works by internationally renowned 20th and 21st century composers. Carl Orff, Igor Stravinsky, Michael Tippett, Paul Hindemith, Hans Werner Henze and György Ligeti entrusted Schott with the publication of their work. Schott Music takes it as part of its cultural mandate to support and promote young composers (such as, most recently, Jörg Widmann, Christian Jost, Chaya Czernowin, Atsuhiko Gondai and Richard Ayres among many others) to make current musical developments and trends accessible to audiences everywhere and to continue to publish works which do not necessarily target mass markets. Schott Music is a modern family-owned company which is currently managed by two managing directors. In his capacity as managing partner, CEO Dr Peter Hanser-Strecker, together with COO Wolfgang Ogrisek, is shaping the profile of the company. They are supported by an international team of around 250 skilled people working in the areas of editing, production, distribution and promotion, giving new impetus to the music repertoire and making it possible to satisfy customer demands swiftly and effectively worldwide.
