Boris Jurgenson

Boris Petrovich Jurgenson (Борис Петрович Юргенсон) was a music publisher born in 1868, the son of Tchaikovsky's publisher Petr Jurgenson.

After graduating in law from Moscow University in 1891, Boris worked in his father's music publishing business in Moscow. He compiled the first thematic catalogue of Tchaikovsky's works in 1897, translated Hugo Reimann's Musiklexikon from German to Russian, and published a number of works on the history of music printing. After Petr Jurgenson's death in 1904, Boris took over the management of the firm along with his brother Grigorii (1872–1936), and following its nationalisation in 1918, he became the head of the musical section of the State Publishing House.

Boris Jurgenson died in 1935.
