Universal Music MGB Publications: music to read, to learn, to use.

The score is the most tangible testimony of music, it tells us about who wrote it and about who owns it. The new company, MGB Publications, has taken over the legacy of Casa Ricordi's Printed Music Division with the goal of developing the production and marketing – both in Italy and abroad – of music publications in the sectors of classical music, light music and musical instruction.

Printed music, while being the most classic iconography of the music publisher, is also engaged in a supremely important challenge with the future – to take the best possible advantage of all the opportunities offered by digital technology and the Internet.

Scores, songbooks, methods, courses of instruction and books are the products which address a natural elective public made up of music students and teachers, musicians and musicologists. But alongside them there is the broad public of music lovers and self-taught musicians, at whom is aimed a series of products capable of spreading and propagating the best of classical and light music.

MGB Publications intends, with its own catalogues – including Ricordi, Zanibon, Amphion, Durand, Eschig, Salabert, Rideau Rouge – and those which it distributes (including Editio Musica Budapest, Hal Leonard, Music Sales, Schott), to be the favoured interlocutor for all those who – at any age – study, live and enjoy music.

MGB Publications distributes in Italy and all over the world through a selected network of agents, distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
