Vital American Treasure Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics began in 1892 with the intent to create an American edition of the masterworks, published with the needs of American musicians instead of relying on imported European editions. With interesting and qualified editing talent, the library accomplished the release of 1500 volumes by 1926. Schirmer library made a name in American music publishing, eventually leading to a relationship with Hal Leonard in 1986.
