History

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, which changed name to F.A. Urbánek a synové in 1913 when his sons Frantisek and Vladimir became partners. 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.
