"The Henle Company was formed in 1948 with the permission of the American military government"
Ever wonder what goes into your musical score? Who decides whether Beethoven wanted an F or an F sharp? What does "Urtext" mean, and why should we care? How come Marc-André Hamelin puts in the fingerings for Rachmaninoff, when he doesn't perform any of his music? Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, managing director of G. Henle Publishers and its famous "blue books" has the answers to all these questions and many more.
Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, born in Frankfurt, studied musicology, modern German literature, and philosophy. In 1990 Seiffert started work at G. Henle Publishers as an editor, where he became managing director of G. Henle Verlag in 2000.
