Son of Osip Jurgenson, and the nephew of Tchaikovsky's publisher Pyotr Jurgenson (d. 1890), born Aleksandr Osipovich Yurgenson (Александр Осипович Юргенсон); also known as Aleksandr Iosifovich Yurgenson (Александр Иосифович Юргенсон).
Tchaikovsky knew the Jurgenson family well, and he corresponded with many of them, including Aleksandr. In July 1890 Aleksandr disappeared from the family home in Saint Petersburg; his body was discovered three months later, having apparently taken his own life.
