C.F. Kahnt
Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
History
Christian Friedrich Kant (°1823) opened his music store, publishing house and music lending library on 2 October 1851 in Leipzig. He published the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik and was publisher for Franz Liszt, before he sold his company to Wilhelm Auerbach in 1882. The company was further known as C.F. Kahnt Nachfolger under Oskar Schwalm (1886), Paul Simon (1889), and Alfred Hoffmann (1903). After having lost a significant part of the archive during World War II, Hoffmann relocated the firm to Bonn (1951) and Wasserburg am Bodensee (1958). In 1989, the firm was sold to C.F. Peters.
