The Viennese **Edwin F. Kalmus** (b. Vienna 15 Dec 1893–d. New York 30 Apr 1989) founded a music publishing house in New York United States in 1926 concentrating on publishing classical musical works that had entered the public domain and making them widely available in inexpensive miniature reprint editions. However in 1976, the Kalmus company sold the study score, vocal, piano and chamber music titles to Belwin-Mills. The Kalmus Study Scores are a series of reduced size (mostly 5.25 by 7 inches) full scores in an easy-to-read format.
