Henri Hinrichsen und der Musikverlag C. F. Peters

Henri Hinrichsen (1868-1942) was the owner of the C.F. Peters Publishing Company, one of the most famous German publishers of music, at the beginning of the 20th century. Within the urban community of Leipzig, Hinrichsen distinguished himself by his diverse activities as a patron of the arts and his deep involvement in non-Jewish and Jewish organizations. Using this outstanding publisher of music and eminent representative of the upper middle class in Leipzig as an example, Erika Bucholtz increases the reader's awareness of the way in which the German-Jewish middle class took part in middle-class culture before 1933.
