Hans Heinsheimer (Sept. 25, 1900 in Karlsruhe – Oct 12, 1993 in New York City) was a music publisher, author, and journalist.
==Life and Works==
After obtaining a law degree and working as an unpaid intern, Heinsheimer was hired at age 23 by the grand rights (staged works) division of Viennese music publisher Universal Edition, eventually becoming head of the opera department. There he supported composers Alban Berg and Leoš Janáček and wrote many articles for the music periodical ''Anbruch'' ("Dawn") about issues in the music industry and the sociology of music. He was the force behind Universal's hugely popular successes in the 1920s: Jaromír Weinberger's opera ''Schwanda the Bagpiper'' and Ernst Krenek's ''Jonny spielt auf''. He also dabbled as a stage director, including productions of Kurt Weill's ''Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny''.
He was on a business trip to New York City during the Austrian Anschluss in 1938 and did not return to Austria. He found employment with the major music publisher Boosey & Hawkes and was instrumental in Boosey's publication of the works of Béla Bartók, who emigrated in 1940.

According to Bernard Holland (The New York Times, October 14, 1993), Heinsheimer was dismissed from Boosey in 1947 because of the head of the firm, Ralph Hawkes disliked his first book, ''Menagerie in F Sharp''. Heinsheimer went to work for the largest American music publisher at the time, Schirmer, becoming its vice-president in 1972. He managed the publications of composers including Leonard Bernstein, Gian Carlo Menotti, and Samuel Barber, and also brought out Albert Schweitzer's edition of Bach's organ works. He was described in his ''New York Times'' obituary as "One of the most influential classical-music publishers of the 20th century."
