Last updated

Bote & Bock is a German publishing house founded in Berlin in 1838 by Eduard Bote and Gustav Bock (1813-1863). [1]

The first Gustav Bock was a musically gifted publisher with an eye for opera. [2] Eduard Bote withdrew from the business in 1847, after the firm was run by Gustav Bock alone till his death in 1863. Bock's brother Emil Bock (1816-1871) then picked up the firm till his own death seven years later. [3] Gustav's son Hugo Bock (1848-1932) had only been 15 when his father died, and upon the death of his uncle he found himself running the company at the age of 23. [4] It was Hugo Bock who built the company's international reputation, [5] to whom a son Gustav Bock was also born in 1882. [6] Following Hugo Bock's death in 1932, the business was taken over by Robert Lienau in 1935 but the name Bote & Bock retained. [7]

Boosey & Hawkes acquired the company in 1996. [8]
