Suppliers of Medtner sheet music


Schott schott-music.com

Offers all Zimmermann publications, the 1925 Benjamin/Simrock editions and a few others including the Zen-On edition of Op 38. The former Zimmermann online shop redirects to here.

Boosey & Hawkes www.boosey.com

Online shop lists a mixture of their own and other publishers' editions. Bought Édition Russe de Music in 1947. The catalogue lists ERM publications up to Op 35. I have had mixed success with the custom print service. My attempt in 2006 to order the Op 17 Novelles and Op 19 songs elicited the reply "The complete Op 19 and Op 17 are now out of print, and we are unable to obtain or produce copies". The catalogue now explicitly states that these items are for sale, so future requests may be more fruitful.

Stainer & Bell www.stainer.co.uk

Supplies authorised photocopies of the Op 58 two-piano works in the original Augener edition. Preferable to the Collected Editon which has Piano 2 in small print.

Dover Publications www.doverpublications.com

Publishes the piano sonatas (in two volumes) and the complete Fairy Tales. Reproduced from the 1959 Collected Edition apart from the Op 30 sonata, for which the Collected Edition is preferable, with translations of the Russian footnotes etc.
