Or so says The Wall Street Journal.
Happy listening,

the end was inevitable. I continued to give her business even when I could have bought the same items online for considerably less. You couldn't beat her knowledge, or her massive inventory, though in later years she could not afford to restock the most esoteric items as they gradually sold out.
I once talked to her about converting to an online business, but she said that would have taken too large an investment. I too remember Patelson's and Schirmer's, but neither had her deep inventory or her lively personality. Good luck, Heidi, I'll miss you.
What a great place, I found some really obscure stuff there. Fitting at least that they were the last, but unfortunate news.

Yes, that's correct. I'm old enough to remember patronizing G. Schirmer's on 5th Ave, Patelson's near Carnegie Hall and Frank Music on 54th. Now they are all gone.
Sure, you can buy classical music on-line and even download it to an IPad but like the fun of browsing through record stores, it's not quite the same.
I visited G. Schirmer's once around 1964. I was like a kid in a candy store. Mind boggling. They no longer exist? They were an NY institution at one time.
If memory serves, there is still a classical sheet music shop at the Juilliard School that is open to the public.
