P. Jurgenson (in Russian: П. Юргенсон) was, in the early 1900s, the largest publisher of classical music in Russia.

History

Founded in 1861, the firm — in it's original form, or as it was amalgamated in 1918 with other Russian music publishing firms into the state owned music publishing monopoly — endured the latter of three of the four below listed eras (the first three were defined by Lenin as corresponding to three chief classes of Russian society):^[1]

Period	Years
The Aristocratic Period	roughly from 1825 to 1861
The Middle Class, or Bourgeois-Democratic Period	extending approximately from 1861 to 1895	P. Jurgenson is founded
The Proletarian Period	from 1895 to 1991	Communist Russia begins 1918
Post Soviet Russia	1991 to present

The firm was a privately owned Russian company from 1861 to 1918. In 1918, the company was nationalized by the communist regime, as was all other music publishing companies, into a division of the State Publishing House. The music division of the State Publishing House, in 1930, was renamed Gosudarstvennoye Muzykal'noe Izdatelstvo (Государственное музыкальное издательство) — translated at State Music Publishing House, referred to by it's short name, Muzgiz, then, in 1964, referred to as Muzika (or Muzyka or Музыка, in Russian).

Pyotr Ivanovich Jurgenson (1836–1904), born in Estonia, founded P. Jurgenson in 1861 on the advice of Nikolay Rubinstein (1835–1881) – pianist, conductor, founder of the Moscow Conservatoire, and brother of Anton Rubinstein. Upon Pyotr Jurgenson's death in 1904, Boris Petrovich^[2] Jurgenson (1868–1935) and Grigory Petrovich Jurgenson (1872–1936), his sons, inherited the firm and Boris became its new head (Tchaikovsky was Boris' godfather). In 1918, Boris became the head of the musical division of the State Publishing House.
