A. Kühnel Bureau de Musique | ### | 1800–1813 | Leipzig (Germany) | The following information is available from the Edition Peters website (http://www.edition-peters.com/aboutus/history.php): "On 1 December 1800 the conductor and composer Franz Anton Hoffmeister (1754–1812) entered into partnership with the bookseller and organist Ambrosius Kühnel (1770–1813) for the purpose of establishing a 'Bureau de Musique' in Leipzig . . . . In 1806 the business passed into the sole ownership of A. Kühnel when it was officially registered under the name 'Neuer Verlag des Bureau de Musique' . . . . Following Kühnel's untimely death, the firm was acquired by the Leipzig bookseller Carl Friedrich Peters (1779–1827), who traded from 1 April 1814 under the name 'Bureau de Musique de C.F. Peters'." (see below, Edition Peters) However, there is at least one extant work (Crusell, Clarinet Concerto op.1) with Kühnel's name and 'Bureau de Musique', so it is unclear whether editions so marked belong to the 1800–1806 or 1806–1813 period. |
