History
Originally founded in Copenhagen in 1951 by Hans-Ulrik Barfoed, chose to give up their ordinary civil work and move with the publishing house to Tågelund near Egtved in Jutland.

With the move to Egtved, Musikhøjskolens Forlag first became truly professional. The company published new music by Danish composers and released some remarkable publications for school usage, the song book "555 sange" (1972), for example, which sold well over 200,000. The publications and the 'Egtved'-name were also profiled through a course business in the d Musikhøjskole, which attracted teachers and musicians from all over the country. According to "Dansk Musikforlægger Forening", Edition Egtved was Denmark's largest music publisher in 1979 - with twenty employees and a company that, in addition to a large music trade in sheet music, instruments and LPs, also housed sheet music setters, repro facilities, printing house and bookbindery.

Due to growing international sales and cooperation, the name "Edition Egtved" was introduced in 1974. Svend-G became ill in the mid-70s and in 1978 he was replaced as director by Edition Wilhelm Hansen in 2001. The last edition of an Egtved publication was published in 2003.
