Felix Draeseke

Sämtliche Lieder in drei Bänden, Band 1 (Kritische Neuausgabe nach den Manuskripten und Erstdrucken von Wolfgang Müller-Steinbach / new print)

While Draeseke’s symphonic oeuvre, his chamber music and his choral works have become more and more widely known thanks to the tireless and commendable work of the International Draeseke Society (IDG, since 1986), his songs * remain virtually unnoticed. This is probably mainly due to the fact that some of them are difficult to access and are not always available in error-free prints. Fortunately, the board and members of the IDG have responded positively to my suggestions for a new print …

Ludolf Nielsen

Symphony No.3 in C major op. 32 for large orchestra (first print/Urtext, edited by Christian Biskup)

Ludolf Nielsen is just one of the many Danish composers who have fallen into oblivion due to the overpowering shadow of Carl Nielsen. Yet the biographies of the two, incidentally unrelated namesakes, show remarkable parallels. Both Carl and Ludolf grew up in a rural environment before they were drawn to the Danish capital to study, where both were quickly counted among the most promising musicians of their generation. While Carl Nielsen succeeded in adapting his musical language to the musical trends, Ludolf remained faithful to the Romantic idiom throughout his life, which may be the reason for his early demise on the world stage. …

Ruggiero Leoncavallo

Zingari, dramma lirico (full opera score with Italian libretto)

The opera ‘Zingari’ based on the narrative poem ‘The Gypsies’ by Alexander Pushkin, published in 1827. Enrico Cavacchioli and Guglielmo Emanuel turned it into a libretto. The work was premiered at the Hippodrome in London on 16 September 1912.
Formally, it is a dramma lirico performed in Italian language and separated in two episodes (acts) by an intermezzo. The action takes place in the Lower Danube region around 1900 …

Sergei Prokofiev

Romeo and Juliet Op.64 (complete ballet in 4 acts, 52 sc.)

Romeo and Juliet (Russian: Ромео и Джульетта), Op. 64, is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev based on William Shakespeare’s play. It was composed in 1935 and revised for its Soviet premiere in 1940.
Prokofiev began working on Romeo and Juliet during a politically tense period in the Soviet Union. Despite facing censorship and political challenges, he crafted an emotionally rich score inspired by Renaissance culture. The music blends lush harmonies with contrasting rhythms to capture emotions ranging from love to tragedy. …

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:
