Wiener Philharmonischer Verlag

History

Wiener Philharmonischer Verlag was founded in 1923 by Alfred Kalmus (1889-1972), who had been a Universal Edition employee since 1909. Alfred was the older brother of Edwin F. Kalmus, founder of the US company. Alfred Kalmus remained with Universal Edition until he emigrated to London (1936), where his own company, Alfred A. Kalmus, operated for a number of years. In 1925 Wiener Philharmonischer Verlag was bought by Universal Edition, which still uses the imprint.

Aside from producing original engravings, the firm seems to have also reprinted items by other German publishers.
