Why, oh why doesn't Breitkopf and Härtel have a US distributor?!

You'll find as this blog goes on that I'm all about showin' the love to Breitkopf and Härtel . I start jonesing for each new Orchestra Urtext score from the time they announce them; I can usually hold off buying until they print the study score size (lag time of a year or more) but I've let myself be lured into buying a few in full size, such as the Beethoven Leonore #3 that came out last year. The Juilliard Bookstore carries a few of the Breitkopf urtext study scores (the Schumann Symphonies, Sibelius 2nd, some of the Beethoven Symphonies); Theodore Front seems to carry a decent stock and is generally a good shop to check out online. But for this impatient, instant-gratification oriented boy, it's very frustrating to have to order online from B&H and wait for shipment from Germany (which ain't cheap) if one of those shops doesn't happen to have music in stock. So if anyone out there has the combination of adequate capital and inadequate business sense to enter the print music distribution business, have at it!
