History

F.E.C. Leuckart is the longest-lasting of a succession of publishers in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland), in Silesia, the eastern part of the German Empire (1870-1918). Its local competitor in the 19th century was Julius Hainauer.

Leuckart was founded in 1782 by Franz Ernst Christoph Leuckart (1748-1817). After Leuckart's death in 1817, his widow continued running the business, followed by their two children Carl August Ferdinand and Auguste Henriette. They were being supported by the latter's husband Johann Carl Wilhelm Sander (1786-1859). This was the beginning of a 150-year connection of the Sander family with the company. Johann Carl Wilhelm Sander's son Constantin Sander (1826-1905) continued the business, and his name appeared on scores until the 1890s. Throughout the 19th century production was vigorous; HMB notes 3217 items between 1829 and 1900. During the Breslau years the catalog contained both church music(Hahn) and dances (Lanner), piano pieces (Spindler), violin pieces (Schoen) and songs (Abt, Gumbert, Genee).

The company moved to Leipzig in 1870. Publication of songs (Jael, Franz), piano pieces (Jadassohn, Bendix, Wilm, Hiller) and violin pieces (Schoen, Dont, Becker, Michaelis, F. Ries, Sauret, Saran) continued. In the 20th century members of the Sander family continued to manage the company. 1907 saw the acquisition of H. vom Ende's publishing company (of Trier). In 1941, under the Nazi Aryanisation policy, the firm took over Eulenburg. Horst Sander died in captivity in 1945, and his family moved to Munich that year.

After the second world war the company was reconstructed in Munich, known as F. E. C. Leuckart, Munich. From 1948 Erich Sander was the owner From 1956 it was known as Kommanditgesellschaft (limited partnership) F. E. C. Leuckart, with Alma Maria Sander as Kommanditistin. In 1978 Alma Maria Sander left the company and Erich Sander continued as sole owner. Marco Sander managed the firm from 1983, and in 1988 it became an offene Handelsgesellschaft led by Vera Sander und Marco Sander. It is now part of the Thomi-Berg publishing group, which includes F.E.C. Leuckart, Elisabeth Thomi-Berg and Chr. Fr. Vieweg. Its best-known series is Alte Musik (1924-present).

One other firm of the same name was active in Leipzig: F. E. C. Leuckart Sortiment, not a publisher but a retail music store. This was owned by Martin Adolph Constantin Wilhelm Sander from 1890, with the legal name F. E. C. Leuckart Sortiment (Martin Sander). After 1930 Alma Maria née Schwarting became the owner and the manager was Horst Sander, with the firm named F. E. C. Leuckart, Musik-Sortiment, Jost & Sander. Horst and Erich Sander were the owners from 1948 to 1956, but Kurt Bruckner took over in 1956 and Annemarie Töpfer in 1967. The firm ceased operation in 1994.

Note that F.E.C. Leuckart can also be confused with Luckhardt, a smaller publisher in Kassel.
