Das amerikanische Mutterhaus:

Alfred Music’s history began in New York City’s Tin Pan Alley in 1922, when Sam Manus, a violinist and importer of mood music for silent films, started a music publishing company and named it Manus Music. The company published primarily popular sheet music. In 1930, Sam acquired the music publisher, Alfred & Company, founded by Alfred Haase. Sam decided to combine the names and shortened it to Alfred Music, which the company is still known as today. Sam’s son, Morty began working for Alfred Music in the late 1940s and met his wife Iris at the company when the bookkeeper, Rose Kopelman, brought her daughter to work one day.

Morty reinvented Alfred Music in the 1950s. Inspired by the need for quality music education products, Morty, a clarinetist and pianist, oversaw the development of an instructional series for accordion, followed by books for guitar, piano, and recorder. Alfred Music was now more than just a sheet music publisher; the company was taking its first steps to becoming the leader in music education.

Alfred Music grew significantly over the next two decades and eventually exceeded the capacity of its New York headquarters. In 1975, the main office was relocated to Los Angeles, and the distribution center was moved to upstate New York. Sharing their father’s vision, Morty’s sons, Ron and Steve joined the company; Ron in 1988 and Steve in 1992. While continuing to develop the world’s leading instructional methods and performance music, they also expanded Alfred Music internationally, establishing offices in Australia, Germany, Singapore, and the UK. In 2005, Alfred Music purchased Warner Bros. Publications, acquiring the rights to the EMI Catalogue Partnership and beginning a long-term relationship with Warner/Chappell Music. Through this deal, Alfred Music gained the print publishing rights of legendary publishers such as M. Witmark & Sons, Remick Music Corp., and T.B. Harms, Inc. Among the vast EMI holdings are the Robbins and Leo Feist catalogs, plus film music from United Artists, MGM, and 20th Century Fox including The Wizard of Oz, Singin’ in the Rain, Doctor Zhivago, and many others.

Alfred Music currently has over 150,000 active titles and represents a wide range of well-known publications—from methods like Alfred’s Basic Guitar, Alfred’s Basic Piano Library, Premier Piano Course, Sound Innovations, and Suzuki, to artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bruno Mars, Cole Porter, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffett, George and Ira Gershwin, John Lennon, Katy Perry, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, to brands like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, Rolling Stone magazine, and Billboard.

Alfred Music is now also paired with MakeMusic, which is part of Peaksware Holdings, LLC portfolio of companies, to transform how music is composed, published, taught, learned, and performed by bringing together the leaders in educational music publishing and music technology.



Die deutsche Niederlassung:

Anfänge und Entwicklung des deutschen Verlagsprogramms

Die Alfred Music Publishing GmbH wurde am 01. September 1997 in Neustadt/Wied nahe Köln gegründet – zunächst mit der Aufgabe, die Alfred US-Produkte in die Märkte des deutschsprachigen Vertriebsgebiets einzuführen und dort zu vertreiben. Mit der Übernahme des populären KDM-Katalogs im Oktober 2000 und dem Eintritt von Thomas Petzold im Januar 2001 als Cheflektor und späterer Verlagsleiter wird der Fokus auf den Aufbau eines eigenständigen Verlagsprogramms in deutscher Sprache gerichtet.

Heute umfasst der Alfred-Produktkatalog mehr als 250 deutschsprachige Verlagstitel, die zum Teil auch für den internationalen Markt ins Englische übersetzt worden sind. Zu den Topsellern zählen die Verlagsreihen „Garantiert lernen“, „Kräsch! Bum! Bäng!“, „Pop Piano School“ und „Kino Hits“ ebenso wie die deutschen Übersetzungsausgaben der mehrbändigen Lehrbücher Aaron Klavierschule, Alfreds Klavierschule für Erwachsene, Alfreds Klavierschule für Kinder und Lang Lang Klavierschule. Aber auch im Schlagzeugbereich hat Alfred Music weitere Highlights mit den Veröffentlichungen von Anika Nilles, Jost Nickel, Claus Hessler u.v.a. gesetzt, die zu den angesagtesten Protagonisten der deutschen Drummerszene gehören.

Umzug nach Köln, Übernahme des Warner Katalogs und neue Auslieferung

Im Mai 2005 wurde der Verlagssitz nach Köln verlegt, die Verlagsauslieferung an einen externen Dienstleister ausgegliedert, um im Zuge der Übernahme des Warner-Print-Katalogs im gleichen Jahr durch das Alfred-Headquarter in den USA, ein europäisches Zentrallager einrichten zu können.Im Jahr 2010 erfolgte der Umzug innerhalb Kölns an den derzeitigen Standort in Köln/Rath. Neben dem Verlagsarchiv sind hier die Büroräume für die MitarbeiterInnen aus Verwaltung, Vertrieb, Marketing, Produktion und die Verlagsleitung untergebracht, die Thomas Petzold 2017 an die langjährige Buchhaltungsleiterin Patricia Schwan übergeben hat.

Aktuelles

Der Zufall will es, dass das Jahr 2022 für Alfred Music in Deutschland und weltweit ein Jahr des Feierns ist. Alfred Music begeht nicht nur sein 100-jähriges Jubiläum in den USA, sondern auch das 25-jährige Bestehen der deutschen Niederlassung. Darüber hinaus verabschiedeten wir zum 1. Juli 2022 unseren Editor-in-Chief Thomas Petzold nach 21 Jahren in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand. Seine Verdienste um den Auf- und Ausbau des deutschen Verlagsprogramms sind bereits ausführlich beschrieben. Aber auch seine Impulse zur darüberhinausgehenden Auswertung der Verlagsrechte haben Alfred Deutschland entscheidend vorangebracht. Auch wenn er uns im Alltagsgeschäft nicht mehr täglich zur Verfügung stehen wird, wird er sich noch nicht ganz und gar zur Ruhe setzen, sondern uns in den Bereichen Rechte und Lizenzen sowie Nachdruckbetreuung weiterhin mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen. Seine Nachfolge im Bereich Lektorat und Produktion übernimmt Matthias Bielecke, der bereits seit 2019 erfolgreich den Bereich Marketing betreut hat.
