This is a nice article but has an error in it: it would not have been possible for Nikolaus Simrock to publish the works of Brahms, which were composed after he died. It must have been one of Nikolaus's successors. I could fix this myself but the original authors could do a better job of sorting out the composer list (Haydn, Mendelssohn, etc.) and indicating which were published by Nicolaus and which by the firm after his death.
