Correspondence with Tchaikovsky

{{picture|file=Boris Jurgenson.jpg|caption='''Boris Jurgenson'''<br/>(1868-1935)}}
Music publisher, the son of [[Pyotr Jurgenson]] (b. 1868; d. 1935), born '''''Boris Petrovich Yurgenson''''' (Борис Петрович Юргенсон).

Boris was the godson of the composer, who always treated him with paternal affection, and according to the memoirs of his sister [[Aleksandra Snegireva-Jurgenson]]: "Strange as it may seem, Boris Petrovich looked like his godfather; this resemblance manifested itself especially in old age. He could easily have played him [Tchaikovsky] on the stage. Their height and build were also quite similar. Pyotr Ilyich was of medium height and rather thin. In terms of his outward appearance he was very much an elegant man" <ref name="note1"/>.

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 Riemann's ''Musiklexikon'' from German to Russian, and published a number of works on the history of music printing. After [[Pyotr Jurgenson]]'s death in 1904, Boris took over the management of the firm along with his brother Grigory (1872–1936), and following its nationalisation in 1918, he became the head of the musical section of the State Publishing House.
