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.
