The music publisher MP Belaieff was founded on July 4, 1885 by the Russian music lover and music patron Mitrofan Petrowitsch Beljajew (1836–1903) in Leipzig . A year earlier, Belyayev had set up a foundation in St. Petersburg to promote Russian composers and musicians. The foundation and publisher have been closely linked since 1885 and still stand for the promotion and dissemination of 19th century Russian classics such as Alexander Glasunow , Michail Glinka , Alexander Borodin , Alexander Scriabin , Nikolai Rimski-Korsakow , Peter Tschaikowsky and Anatoli Lyadow as well as numerous composers of the 20th and 21st centuries such as Nikolai , Alexander and Ivan Tcherepnin , Georg von Albrecht , André Volkonsky , Valentin Silvestrov , Tigran Mansurjan and Alexander Raskatow .
history
In 1882 Belyayev heard the first performance of the 1st symphony (1881) by the 17-year-old Alexander Glasunov and was so enthusiastic that he suggested that the young composer publish the score, orchestral parts and piano reduction. First, Belyayev founded a foundation in St. Petersburg in 1884 and on July 4, 1885 a publishing house in Leipzig. The foundation annually awards the so-called Glinka Prize for Composition and is generally committed to promoting Russian music. According to the foundation's idea and statutes, not only composers and works that were published by the publisher were funded. The first publication with works by Glasunow appeared in 1885.
After the death of Belyayev on December 22, 1903, the foundation was continued from February 5, 1905 by a board of trustees with the founding members Nikolai Rimski-Korsakow , Alexander Glasunow and Anatoli Lyadow .
The company's headquarters were relocated to Bonn in 1950 . From 1971 to 2006 there was a cooperation with CF Peters Musikverlag from Frankfurt am Main . Since July 1, 2006 the publishing house has had its own office in Pinneberg near Hamburg , production and sales were taken over by Schott Music from Mainz .
