About us
Profile
Felix Editions is dedicated to publishing high-quality sheet music, focusing on overlooked and forgotten composers of the 19th century. Musicians worldwide, both professional and amateur, can rely on our editions for their scholarly precision, elegant presentation, and practicality in performance. Our editions are crafted with great attention to detail, ensuring clarity, readability, and durability.
Since our foundation, Felix Editions has committed itself to expanding the canon of Western classical music. By bringing long-neglected repertoire to light, we offer musicians the opportunity to rediscover extraordinary works that deserve a place alongside the more familiar classics. While many publishers focus on the well-trodden paths of standard repertoire, we embrace the challenge of reviving music that has been unjustly forgotten.
Our catalogue includes carefully prepared Urtext-style editions, complete with critical commentary and historical context. Our editorial approach follows rigorous musicological standards while maintaining a practical focus, ensuring that performers can engage with these works with confidence and insight. Select editions benefit from collaboration with accomplished musicians, whose expertise ensures that both the scholarly and performative aspects of the music are fully realized.
Music Engraving
Felix Editions prides itself on the highest standards of music engraving. Our scores are prepared with meticulous care to achieve a balance between historical authenticity and modern readability. We use state-of-the-art digital engraving techniques to produce sheet music that is clear, elegant, and suited to the needs of today’s musicians.
We believe that the visual presentation of a score is just as important as its musicological accuracy. Our editions feature spacious notation, carefully considered page turns, and a layout that supports fluid performance. Each edition undergoes multiple proofreading stages to ensure a flawless reading experience.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to reintroduce forgotten composers to the world of today’s musicians. While many outstanding compositions have been lost to history, we believe they still have much to offer. Through rigorous research, expert editorial work, and high-quality production, we aim to restore these works to their rightful place in concert halls and music studios worldwide.
We are committed to:
- Historical authenticity: We base our editions on the most reliable sources, comparing multiple manuscripts and early prints where available.
- Performance practicality: Our scores are designed with musicians in mind, balancing scholarly accuracy with playability.
- Elegance and readability: High-quality engraving ensures that our editions are as visually appealing as they are musically reliable.
- Educational value: Each publication includes background information, critical commentary, and editorial notes that help performers understand the historical and stylistic context of the music.
