History

G.M. Meyer was founded on June 1, 1828 in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany by Gottfried Martin Meyer (1801–47) and his wife Juliane (1815–?). After Meyer's death in 1849, Juliane continued running the business, which expanded greatly during her brief marriage (1851–58) to the uxorious composer and pianist Henry Charles Litolff (1818–1891). The name then changed, in 1856, to Litolff.

G.M. Meyer published almost the whole output of 60 works by the short-lived Alexander Fesca (1820–1849), and some works by Reinecke, Wieniawski and others.
