Hugo Bock (1848–1932)

German music publisher (b. 25 July 1848 [N.S.] in Berlin; d. 12 March 1932 in Berlin).

In 1871, Bock inherited the Berlin music publishing firm founded by his father Gustav Bock (1813–1863) and Eduard Bote. The firm of Bote & Bock published the score of Tchaikovsky's overture-fantasia Romeo and Juliet in 1871, at the instigation of Nikolay Rubinstein. Tchaikovsky was personally acquainted with Hugo Bock, and some correspondence between the two men has survived.
