The name Urbánek refers to two different publishing houses, the managers of which were family members.
In 1872 František Augustin Urbánek established his publishing firm in Prague. Much later the name was changed to F.A. Urbánek a synové in 1913 when his sons Frantisek and Vladimir became partners. Although originally devoted to the publication of educational material, Urbánek shifted the emphasis to music in 1879. In that year the company made a contract with the ailing Smetana, who had only five more years to live, for the publication of his cycle of six symphonic poems Má vlast. The firm was nationalised in 1949 (see Supraphon).
Mojmír Urbánek, a son of František, started his own music publishing firm in 1900, bearing the same fate of his father's firm in 1949.

It seems likely that the original of 1204 (whose 1948-published, Rauch-edited revised version we have) probably had the same plates and perhaps was also published in 1902 or so.
