Hansen

Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library

Founded in 1853 by Jens Wilhelm Hansen. Hansen's two sons Jonas (1850-1919) and Alfred (1854-1923) joined the firm in 1874, the year before acquisition of the Copenhagen publisher C. E. Horneman. Works by Danish composers like Niels Gade and J. P. E. Hartmann plus the Norwegian Christian Sinding were added in this period of expansion, which also saw the acquisition of publishers Lose, Horneman & Erslev, Carl Warmuth (Oslo, 1908) and Nordisk (1910). Notable Scandinavian composers added in the 20th century include Jean Sibelius, Carl Nielsen, Emil Hartmann, Wilhelm Stenhammar, and Selim Palmgren. Hansen opened branches in Leipzig (1887-1940), New York (ca.1974) and subsidiaries included Norsk (Oslo, from 1908), Nordiska (Stockholm, from 1915), Wilhelmiana (Frankfurt, from 1951), and J. & W. Chester (London, from 1957). The Hansen group was absorbed by Music Sales in late 1980s.
