Founded in 1885 and headquartered in Leipzig by lumber magnate Mitrofan Petrovich Belaieff (1836-1904) to promote Russian music and secure European copyright for Russian composers, especially those of the nationalist school like Balakirev, Borodin, Glazunov, and Rimsky-Korsakov. The elaborate, expensively produced color lithograph title pages of Belaieff issues from the late 19th century are highly sought collectors' items today. Offices were maintained in both St. Petersburg and Moscow until they were siezed by the Bolshevik regime in 1918. Thereafter operated in Leipzig, subsequently in Bonn and Frankfurt after World War II. Absorbed by Peters in 1972.
Belaieff seems to have assigned plate numbers in a chronological manner. The actual date of publication was printed on the cover and title page for most issues until First World War (1914-18). Dates in parentheses are estimated dates.
