The old collected edition has a limited critical apparatus, and soon after its completion previously unknown works by Schubert were discovered.

The International Schubert Society was founded in 1963, 135 years after the composer's death, with the sole purpose of supporting such endeavour. Walter Gerstenberg was appointed as head of the NSE's editorial board.50th anniversary of the New Schubert Edition: Anniversary celebrations in Hohenems at website.
