Introduction
In 1959 the Summy-Birchard Company of Evanston, Illinois purchased the Arthur P. Schmidt
Publishing Company. Later in that year, David Sengstack, President of the Summy-Birchard Company,
donated the music manuscripts, correspondence, and selected business and financial records of the Arthur
P. Schmidt Publishing Company to the Library of Congress. A number of letters that had been written to the
Schmidt Company were acquired by the Library in 1957.
There are no restrictions on viewing any of the materials in this collection. The status of copyright
or literary rights in these materials is unclear.
Many of the materials in this collection are extremely fragile; patrons are asked to use extreme care
in handling.
This Finding Aid was prepared with Corel WordPerfect 8. An automated version is available from
the staff of the Performing Arts Reading Room.
NOTE: When requesting music from the collection be sure to write “Music” before the call number
on the call slip. See the Reference Librarian on duty for assistance.

Scope and Content Note
The Arthur P. Schmidt Company Archives, as a valuable source for the study of American music
during the latter part of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century (specifically, the years 1881 to
1909), is one of the Music Division’s most important collections. Although the materials range in date from
1869 to 1958, most of the materials date from 1895 to 1920.
Arthur Paul Schmidt was born in Altona, Germany on 1 April 1846 and came to the United States
in 1866. He worked for the G.D. Russell publishing house in Boston before opening his own retail and
foreign music importing business in 1876. The A.P. Schmidt company soon gained a reputation for
publishing works of many distinguished American composers. And, with branches in New York from 1894
to 1937 and in Leipzig from 1889 to 1910, it would become one of the largest music publishing and
importing firms in the United States. Mr. Schmidt died on 5 May 1921 but the firm continued until it was
absorbed by the Summy-Birchard Company of Evanston, Illinois in 1960. The influence of the A.P. Schmidt
Publishing Company on the development and dissemination of American music is immeasurable. The most
comprehensive history of the Schmidt organization to date is Wilma Reid Cipolla’s article Arthur P. Schmidt:
The Publisher and His American Composers which is found in Vistas of American Music, Essays and
compositions in honor of William K. Kearns edited by Susan L. Porter and John Graziano and published by
Harmonie Park Press, Warren, Michigan in 1999 (ML200.1.V57 1999 in the collections of the Music
Division).
The A.P. Schmidt Company Archives contains music, correspondence, business and financial
records, and related documents. These materials provide a detailed look at the management, daily operations,
and history of the Schmidt firm.
In the music series, which contains manuscripts and some printed music and is the largest part of the
collection, are examples of music composed by Americans at the turn of the twentieth century and selected
for publication by Schmidt. The majority of the music in the collection is in autograph form; some are
holographs in the hand of the composer and many are the work of Schmidt company editors and arrangers.
It is from these manuscripts that the Schmidt company prepared its publications. Most of the music in the
collection is for voice, chorus or piano. However, examples of large-scale orchestral music in the collection
most clearly illustrate Schmidt’s commitment to publishing music by American composers at a time when
other American publishers were weary of risking their capital on these works which were oftentimes
perceived to have questionable merit and little income-producing potential.
Some composers whose works are represented include Charles R. Adams, Paul Ambrose, William
F. Apthorp, Frederick Archer, Florence Newell Barbour, Edward S. Barnes, Floy L. Bartlett, Marion Bauer,
Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, W. Berwald, Arthur Bird, J. W. Bischoff, B. C. Blodgett, W. L. Blumenschein, Carl

After Schmidt's death in 1921 the firm turned more and more to "educational music" and these
materials are also represented in the collection. It should be noted that none of the manuscripts of Edward
MacDowell, one of Schmidt’s most important composers, accompanied the collection to the Library of
Congress. It may be assumed that after MacDowell’s death, most of his manuscripts were returned to his
widow, Marian MacDowell (See the Edward and Marian MacDowell Collection).
The collection encompasses a large number of business papers (1876-1951) including corporate
correspondence and letterbooks, legal and financial records and files, publications records and catalogs,
iconography, and various writings.
The correspondence includes letters to A. P. Schmidt and his staff from composers, foreign agents,
and printers as well as copies of letters from the Schmidt organization. These deal with the various facets
of the publishing business but many references are made to a variety of personal matters as well as social and
contemporary events. Among the major correspondents in the collection are Edward Ballantine, Florence
Newell Barbour, Floy Bartlett, Mrs. H.H.A. Beach, Robert Braine, Gena Branscombe, F. Leslie Calver,
Rosseter G. Cole, Mabel Daniels, Roland Diggle, G. A. Grant-Schaefer, Cora W. Jenkins, Boris Levenson,
Marian MacDowell, John W. Metcalf, T. Tertius Noble, Mari Paldi, Anna Priscilla Risher, Thomas Tapper,
George Woodhouse. There are letters from most of the composers whose work Schmidt published. Some
notable correspondents include Paul Ambrose, Willi Apel, J. Stuart Archer, Parker Bailey, Edward Shippen
Barnes, Marion Bauer, Richard Key Biggs, Arthur Bird, David Bispham, Carl Bohm, Joseph Bonnet, Franz
Bornschein, Felix Borowski, John Hyatt Brewer, Radie Britain, Rayner Brown, Ignaz Brüll, Annabel Morris

by name.
In addition, letterbooks which contain copies of correspondence sent from the Schmidt organization
and dating from 1891 to 1934. Many of these letterbooks are in poor condition and extreme care is urged
in handling. These letterbooks are organized chronologically.
Among the legal and financial records are several boxes of materials dealing primarily with copyright
matters (1894-1958). These include copyright recordation books, renewals and application records, and a
number of copyright related publications. The financial records (1880-1943) include bound ledgerbooks,
payment records, earnings statements, and other information for both the Boston and Leipzig operations.
The publication records include an impressive number of A.P. Schmidt and related organizations’
stock books and publication books. The music catalogs and assorted advertisements include catalogs filed
in alphabetical order by subject, composer’s name, or publisher/edition.
The iconographic materials in the collection consist, for the most part, of signed photographs that
once lined Mr. Schmidt’s office. The writings series encompasses a number of interesting literary works,
both printed and in manuscript by some Schmidt composers including Florence Newell Barbour, Charles
Dennée and others.
