Since its inception in 1922, Alfred Music Publishing remains dedicated to helping people learn, teach and play music. With hundreds of expert authors and composers backed by a talented staff in seven offices worldwide, Alfred publishes educational, reference, pop and performance pieces for teachers, students, hobbyists and performers spanning every musical instrument, style and difficulty level. ALFRED’S HISTORY Alfred Piantodosi, a composer and musician, founded Alfred Music Publishing Company in New York in 1922. His modest Tin Pan Alley pop song catalog included such hits as “Waiting for the Robert E. Lee” and “Ragtime Cowboy Joe”songs that still generate revenue for the company today. In 1928, Sam Manus, a violinist who had provided background music for silent movies, bought the company. The company has been owned by the Manus family ever since, spanning three generations. In 1950, Sam’s son Morty, a clarinetist and pianist, and his wife Iris, began working for the company. Inspire
