I agree, henle is awesome. Peters is also very good.

Why does Schirmer's always look like it is a copy of a copy of a copy of an old fax? It's so annoying to read from

ABRSM, G. Henle Verlag, Peters Edition, G. Schirmer, Boosey & Hawkes

My favourite is ABRSM.

Just to give a second opinion I really hate ABRSM...I've replaced all the books I brought from them because reading them is real pain. But they are cheap.

Wiener Urtext is usually great.

G. Henle Verlag by far the best for Bach. As for Beethoven, Heinrich Schenker is pretty good...

i have been very VERY impressed with this small 'boutique' type publisher. quality, editing, etc is all top notch. they are beautiful scores, and i am comparing this against some scores i really love from Henle, Schott, UE, WE, etc. and this is amongst best the best i own.
