History
Hermann Erler of Berlin published a wide range of music from 1867 until 1881, when he joined one of his composers, Franz Ries (1846–1932) to found Ries & Erler.
In 14 years there were over 500 items, mainly light: Erler himself, Hermann Fliege - dances for piano; Halfdan Kjerulf, Adolf Jensen, Henry Cooper (pseudonym of Carl Bohm), Ferdinand Gumbert - songs; Arno Kleffel - piano pieces, and Carl Bohm - violin and piano pieces. Some larger works were also produced, such as Heinrich Hofmann's operas, his symphony Frithjof, Op.22, and his Cello Concerto, Op.31.

Notes
- [a]
- Published by Hermann Erler, at least according to the title page. However, its HMB notice is filed under Ries & Erler in Jan 1882. This could have been a delayed notice due to the merger of Hermann Erler into Ries & Erler in 1881, or perhaps publication did happen after the merger, in late 1881 or early 1882, and the publisher at time of printing was still Hermann Erler?
