Rudolf Wagner-Régeny

Der Günstling oder Die letzten Tage des Grossen Herrn Fabiano

(full opera score in 3 acts with German libretto)

Rudolf Wagner-Régeny, born in 1903 in Sächsisch-Regen in Transylvania, now Romania, distinguished himself to be a highly gifted child in music from an early age. After the First World War, he studied piano and composition in Germany and, from 1924 onward, took his first positions in Berlin, first as a répétiteur and later as choir director at the Volksoper. …

Karl Weigl

Old Vienna

Composed: 1939, originally titled Tänze aus Wien / Dances from Vienna
Orchestration: double winds (with piccolo), four horns, two trumpets, low brass quartet, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings.
Displaying immense talent from a young age, Weigl began composing piano pieces at eleven, so his parents arranged for him to take private music lessons with their friend Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942), who also taught Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) at the same time. …

Felix Petyrek

Dritte geistliche Musik: Litanei

(for mixed choir, two trumpets, two harps, and percussion)
Composed as a sacred vocal work, Litanei draws from traditional Catholic liturgical texts and embodies a quiet intensity, achieved through restrained harmonic language and a profound connection to its devotional source material. Litanei (German for “litany”) is a form rooted in old religious tradition, often characterized by repetitive invocations and congregational responses. …

Adolf Busch

Variationen über den “Radetzky-Marsch” von Johann Strauss für grosses Orchester op. 9

The Variations on the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss Sr. for large orchestra, Op. 9, were written in 1914 and thus represent one of Adolf Busch’s earliest orchestral compositions. A glance at the composition quickly reveals Busch’s mastery of his craft, but also how closely it was linked to the historical period. Almost at the same time, Max Reger composed his Mozart Variations, Op. 132 …

Beyond the Waves

Beyond the Waves

Back to the Origins and Toward the Unknown …

Repertoire & Opera Explorer, Music publisher of rare music scores. Its underlying idea was born from the experience that too many great works of music are unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed. Moreover, most of this neglected music has been commercially unavailable for a long time.

The work of Repertoire Explorer extends far beyond the needs of collectors. The series aims to change the world of music one step at a time. For this reason, we also produce first editions of neglected masterworks, that should have been published long ago. These are always accompanied by the complete set of performance material.

Every score is introduced with a scholarly preface (English, German), most of which are available online for preview. All this is made possible by a worldwide network of dedicated musicians, musicologists, and music-loving amateurs contributing in many different ways to the success of the series.

Let us know if there is a work that you’ve been searching for in vain. If it is in the public domain, and if there is a score (and perhaps parts) in acceptable condition, we can usually publish it and make it available quite quickly. If it is still under copyright protection, you may be able to help us negotiate with the rightsholders. Some publishers such as Universal Edition in Vienna have agreed to collaborate with us on a broad basis. It is our hope that such examples will inspire others to join us in promoting great music that will otherwise never enter the repertoire.

Look through our catalogue and be inspired.

Call for preface writers and translators

All our scores are introduced with a scholarly preface in English and German. These are typically written by musicians, musicologists and music lovers from all over the world in support of our main endeavour, namely to publish unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed great musical works that have been commercially unavailable for many years.

We are now looking to expand our network. Please contact us if you are interested in writing or translating the preface for one of the following titles:
