New publishing house offers innovative subscription program of rarely performed and little known repertoire

Respected German composer and pianist Sebastian Bund launches AURIO Music Publishing House this April 28th. AURIO offers works by unknown composers and rarely performed pieces by well-known composers by subscription and on an individual basis. Conceived by Mr. Bund as the solution to time-consuming searches for rare works whilst doing such a search himself, the publishing house relieves musicians of searching for rarities, making the pieces available in ready-to-play editions.

 

Carefully edited scores for various instruments will be published four times a year, in a choice of a noble print version or as a digital pdf download. Each quarterly edition contains five to six works of varying difficulty, including chamber music with arranged voices. Each score is enriched with explanations and audio recordings for orientation.

 

 

The first editions, to be published in April 2020, offer musical discoveries for flute, piano and clarinet; editions for violin, violoncello and classical guitar will follow. Editions have been designed for practicing, teaching and performing - for everyone who plays an instrument: amateur musicians, teachers, students and professional musicians.

 

"There are still infinite treasures to be found - original works by composers from all centuries," states Mr. Bund. "The pieces will inspire all people who make music, challenge their curiosity and ensure their joy of playing. It is not only artists who can benefit from our 'Music Library of Inspirations', but also the audience, who can go on a new journey of discovery in the concert hall. All over the world." 

AURIO's publications are supported by editors and musicologists invited by Mr. Bund to work with the publishing house, as well as by renowned artists, each of whom recommend work/s for an edition. AURIO is pleased to introduce its first editions, carefully curated by: German flutist Kathrin Christians, 2018 Young Artist Opus Klassik Award winner; German clarinetist Nicolai Pfeffer, who also serves on the clarinet faculty of several prestigious music schools in Germany; Spanish clarinetist Pablo Barragán, "Pablo Barragán made the clarinet shine across all registers..." (Augsburger Allgemeine); French-German cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, "one of the cello realm's most brilliant young princes" (Huffington Post); Israeli pianist Yaara Tal, half of "one of the world's best piano duos" (Stuttgarter Nachrichten); and German pianist Michael Korstick "one of the most important Beethoven performers of our time" (Audiophile, Fono Forum).
