Edition·S – music¬sound¬art (formerly known as Edition SAMFUNDET and ”Samfundet til Udgivelse af Dansk Musik” – ”The Society for the Publication of Danish Music”) is one of Denmark's oldest publishing houses.
[2] In 1887, after a big decrease in the number of members of the association, the Society decided to publish primarily new music, and this has been the focus ever since.
[3] In 2011 the publishing house changed its name to Edition S – music¬sound¬art, which was pronounceable for non-Danes as well.
This was to accommodate the international scene for new art music that showed an increasing interest in Danish composers.
The company was restructured and became a private trust in 2007, but the state support is still the main source enabling Edition S to carry on its activity.
