History
Originally founded by Carl Gottlob Friedrich Warmuth (1811-1892) in 1843 in Christiania (Oslo), Warmuth expanded to music publishing in 1851. In 1861, Warmuth's son (1844-1895) began working for the firm (eventually taking it over entirely in 1874), and in the subsequent years its size and influence increased greatly. During this period, Warmuth acquired its competitors H. Neupert, W. Lindorff & Co., A.M. Hanche, and Edvard Winther. After the 1895 death of Warmuth Jr., the firm was taken over by his widow and managed by Oluv By. In 1900, it was sold to a Swedish bank, and the management was taken over by Olav Sørbye in 1903. In 1908, Carl Warmuth's Oslo branch was purchased by Carl Warmuth kjøpt av Brødrene Hals, and its Copenhagen branch was bought by Wilhelm Hansen. On 1 January 1909, these two entities were merged to form Norsk Musikforlag.
Warmuth published the works of many notable Norwegian composers, including Agathe Backer Grondahl, Johan Svendsen, Adolf Hansen, Friedrich August Reissiger, Halfdan Kjerulf, and Christian Cappelen.
