Gérard
Billaudot, Éditeur was founded more a century ago in 1896 by Louis
Billaudot (1871-1936) and has remained a family business. Louis
Billaudot was succeeded by his two sons Robert (1910-1981) and Gérard
(1911-1986), the latter managing the company single-handed from 1957.
Gérard Billaudot's son-in-law François Derveaux took over in 1979 as
part of a new structure called Gérard Billaudot Editeur S.A. They are
now one of France's most important publishers in the fields of music
teaching as concerns both works on music theory and instrumental methods
and studies. In 1988 they added works published by Editions Française
de Musique (formerly French Radio & Television),including a large
number of pieces premiered between 1947 and 1975. They also publish a
large number of contemporary composers such as Patrick Burgan, Jacques
Castérède, Qigang Chen, Marc-André Dalbavie, Edison Denisov, Bertrand
Dubedout, Thierry Escaich, Philippe Hurel, Betsy Jolas, Philippe Leroux,
Fabien Levy, Serge Nigg, Germaine Tailleferre and Alexandre Tansman
