Editions Russes

Éditions Russes de Musique was a music publishing company operating in Germany, Russia, France, the UK and the US.[1]

It was founded in 1909 by Serge Koussevitzky and his first wife Natalia and focussed on new Russian music.[2]

In 1914 a related independent imprint was formed based on the German company Gutheil which Koussevitzky purchased[3] for the purpose.[1]

The headquarters moved to Paris in 1920,[3] after the Russian revolution. The firm was sold to Boosey & Hawkes on March 1, 1947.[1]
