“Music publishing is experiencing a continuous growth despite the international economic crisis – said Patrizia Rossi, representative of Schott Music Publishing for Italy, Spain and Portugal – thanks to the evolution of musical education in the last years. A lot of music schools are born and the number of parents that address their children to a music instrument is growing every year. As a matter of fact it’s well-known that a child who studied music in the first years of his life has an I.Q. 40% above the average. For all these reasons Schott Music Publishing will be in Cremona.”
