Norbert Gertsch (Editor)

Dr. Norbert Gertsch, born in 1967 in Rheinkamp/Moers, studied piano solo at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and read musicology and philosophy at the Paris Lodron University in Salzburg and the Ruperto Carola University Heidelberg on a scholarship from the “Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes”. In 1996 he wrote his doctoral thesis on Ludwig van Beethoven’s Missa solemnis (as part of the New Complete Edition) under Ludwig Finscher.

In the following year, he began to work at G. Henle Publishers, initially as an editor for electronic publishing. After working on a two-year project (1999–2000) sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) preparing a new Beethoven Catalogue of Works, he became a scholarly editor at G. Henle Publishers. In 2003 he became Editor-in-Chief, in 2009 Deputy Managing Director and Head of Publishing. As of 1 January 2024, the Executive Board of the Günter Henle Foundation has appointed Dr. Norbert Gertsch, as the new managing director, succeeding Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert.

Gertsch has published many Urtext editions for G. Henle Publishers, including volumes for a new edition of Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas together with Murray Perahia.

 Die Urtextausgabe von Rodes Caprices ist sehr zu begrüßen. ... Die von Norbert Gertsch betreute Ausgabe informiert mit der beim Henle-Verlag zum Markenzeichen gewordenen wissenschaftlichen Akribie über die Quellen. ... So sind diese Caprices Etüden für das Training der Technik, aber zugleich auch Konzertstücke. Um das Umblättern zu ersparen, verwendet Henle bei den drei Seiten umfassenden Kompositionen ausklappbare Seiten. Diese vorbildliche Edition verbindet also wissenschaftliche Akribie mit dem Wissen um die Anforderungen der pädagogischen und spielerischen Praxis.
