Composers' Publishing Company
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Composers' Publishing Company was a Tin Pan Alley music publishing company incorporated in New York in 1904 by directors Alfred Baldwin Sloane, Irvin M. Hellig, and A. Merrill.[1][2]
History[edit]
The company bears a similar name as Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company. Sloane, at his death in 1925, was vice president of Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company and president of Composers' Publishing Company.[3] In 1901, Marcus Witmark prevailed in winning a court injunction against Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company to cease publishing and selling of Sloane's works. Witmark averred that Sloane had a contract with his firm, M. Witmark & Sons.[4][5]
