Muzyka Publishers | Издательство «Музыка»
Muzyka Publishers is one of Russia’s oldest and most influential music publishing houses, specializing in classical music, scholarly editions, educational literature, and performance repertoire.
The publisher was established in 1964 following the reorganization of the Soviet State Music Publishing House (Muzgiz), whose origins date to 1930. Throughout the Soviet period and into the modern era, Muzyka has played a central role in preserving, publishing, and promoting Russian and international classical music. Its extensive catalog serves performers, teachers, conservatories, orchestras, libraries, and music scholars.
Muzyka publishes a broad range of sheet music, educational materials, opera and orchestral scores, chamber music, vocal works, and scholarly editions.
