Abraham Nordheimer

Abraham Nordheimer (February 24, 1816 – January 18, 1862) was a German Jewish-Canadian musician, merchant and music publisher who established Canada's first publishing house specializing in music.

In 1844, he opened a music store in Toronto with his brother Samuel. Besides selling reprints of European music, the brothers also published Canadian compositions. The firm sold instruments manufactured in the United States; it later became involved in the manufacturing of pianos. Branches of the store were opened in Montreal, Hamilton and London. The firm invited famous performers of the day to come to Canada and established a concert hall in Montreal.

In 1927, Heintzman & Co. took over the operation of the Nordheimer Piano & Music Company Ltd. factory.
