Publishers & Rights Contacts

Contact details for publishers, rights holders, hire libraries and historic imprints connected with works by Hans Gál.

Before contacting a publisher

A practical note

Publishing rights, hire libraries and local agents can change over time, especially where older imprints have been absorbed into larger catalogues. The current details below should be used first where available.

Where a publisher has a useful Hans Gál composer page, work page or catalogue search, it is linked directly as a button alongside the publisher’s main website.

Older details have not been discarded. Where an address may now be out of date, it is preserved in parentheses as a useful clue. If you are trying to trace materials and are not sure which publisher to approach, please contact the Hans Gál Society for guidance.

Tracing a publisher or hire material

If a publisher cannot identify the relevant Gál work, or if a historic imprint appears to have disappeared into a later catalogue, contact the Hans Gál Society. Older addresses and agents can be helpful clues, but the Society may be able to advise the most likely current rights path.
