The series is dedicated to unjustly neglected works, which are no longer available or were never available before. It is a direct and idealistic response to  the fact, that the repertoire of classical music is shrinking every day and many little known pieces are vanishing into oblivion. We hope that our scores will help this music revive and survive. If you want to know more about our activity, please visit our website www.musikmph.de. There you find the catalogue of our study scores which will allow a survey of the fundamental idea of our publication work.

I have a few reprints from that edition (which is mostly, but not exclusively, reprints) and have prepared prefaces for two of the scores in that edition as well (with gift - another score - but no fee - as recompense. I feel relatively free in saying that it's a rather good edition on the whole. The most recent issues include a preview of the opening of the score at the beginning of the preface, which is a nice bit; and many of these prefaces can be accessed online (see List of Scores and Prefaces - not all the links in that score go to digitally available prefaces, and some go to PDF links instead.

(Hrm. Not new anymore, but they have Frank Bridge's late orchestral work "Rebus", which I've been curious about for ages- yes, I know, not in this forum's ambit. Sigh. I need to see if my local library has that, and a recording... I want to hear that finally. Yay And it seems?? they have typesets of Magnard's early symphonies (1 & 2)- not sure-, the manuscripts of which are digitized at IMSLP (the first two were only actually published during his lifetime in reduction, the orchestral scores stayed in ms.))

Hrm, Berger- that would be the Romanian Wilhelm Georg Berger, I'm guessing.

The Moór symphony Op.65 - ah, the E minor, which we have at IMSLP, now I look (and we have a MPH template to link...) oh, neat. Thanks!
