DOBLINGER – Music Shop and Publisher, Vienna - Austria
In the heart of Vienna the city of music, at Dorotheergasse 10, the Doblinger Music House is a required stop for the music lover. This company has been an important music house and fixture in Viennese music for the last century and a half.
History and Location:
In 1857, Ludwig Doblinger took over a music store that was at the corner of Dorotheergasse and Stallburggasse, just down the street from present store. After two moves, one just next to the old Kärtnertortheater, he brought the business to the present site. This Baroque building was built in the second half of the 17th century by the noble family Von Dietrichstein.
In 1876 Bernhard Herzmansky sen. took over the Doblinger Music Shop from Ludwig Doblinger’s widow. Herzmansky also started the Doblinger Publishing Company in the same year with Viennese Light Music and Operettas. He made Doblinger to one of the leading music shops and publishers in Vienna, the company has remained family owned and managed ever since. His son Bernhard Herzmansky jun. built up Doblinger’s contemporary catalog and started Diletto Musicale Doblinger’s Series of Baroque & Classical Music in critical-practical editions.
The Doblinger building facade has elaborate ornaments and reliefs, and above the main entrance door is a figure of the Holy Virgin. On the first floor there is an ornate concert room with original red wallpaper, large mirrors with decorated frames, and crystal chandeliers. It also has a modern guitar by the contemporary artist Hand Weigand, with a neck that is 20 meters long.
150 Years Doblinger Music Shop:
Doblinger – today one of the leading music shops of the world - offers about 300,000 titles of sheet music, scores and books on music from 800 international publishers, covering classical and popular music. There are also sections for choral music, CDs and DVDs, facsimile prints and musical souvenirs, and in the antiquarian department there are rare music prints, books and other treasures from earlier days. Customers from all over the world satisfy their music needs either in the store or on a well developed internet site.
130 Years Doblinger Music Publishers:
Their catalog of published works includes almost one thousand Austrian composers and authors, of both light and serious music. It started with the popularity of the waltzes, polkas and marches of Carl Michael Ziehrer, and the profits from these sales helped finance the publication of more serious compositions, such as many of Bruckner’s symphonies and masses, Mahler’s 4th Symphony, and works by Goldmark, Zemlinsky and Dohnányi. A series of music instruction books was also started at this time. By the early 1900’s, the name “Doblinger” had become synonymous with Viennese music with their publications of works such as Lehár’s “The Merry Widow”, Oscar Straus’ “A Waltz Dream” and the sheet music for many Viennese Lieder.
In the 1920’s, Doblinger increased its dedication to serious music, and this trend strengthened in the second half of the 20th century with composers like Egon Wellesz, Gottfried von Einem, and Friedrich Cerha in their catalog. In recent years, Doblinger has fostered the careers of many young and talented composers through a program called „Initiative 2000.” And it is not just newer music that the company presents. In the 1950’s, they formed a series of earlier music called „Diletto Musicale“ which now has 1,300 works in their catalog. The first works were by Joseph and Michael Haydn.
Today, Doblinger’s catalogue has 20.000 entries and includes operas, oratorios, orchestral music, instrumental concerti, chamber music, choral and church music, the Diletto Musicale series and the collected works of Johann Strauss as well as a highly recommended catalogue of educational music for nearly all instruments. Finally, the building is also the home of the “Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag Wien”, publisher of the collected works by Anton Bruckner and Hugo Wolf, and distributed worldwide by Doblinger.
