Edition MusikTexte

Since 2024, the MusikTexte series has been continued and expanded by Wolke Verlag. It is dedicated to thinking, writing, and discussing music—through essays, conversations, and documents from the contemporary world of composition. At the intersection of aesthetics, poetics, and criticism, it creates a space for authors who view language as an integral part of music.
