What are the finest sheet music publishing houses?

[lalo57]

I've heard it is G. Henle Verlag, what do you guys think?

[erick86]

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

Whoever has actually published what I want in most cases these days.

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

My favourite is ABRSM.

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.

[diwang99]

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.

Barhenreiter Urtext, hands down. Not cheap, though.

Artaria editions is good but its price is on the high side.
