Disintegration of a magnetchydrodynamic shock wave with a small density discontinuity is investigated. The initial shock wave is a compression wave for which all boundary conditions are satisfied and entropy increases. If the initial shock wave is an evolutional one it cannot disintegrate. A nonevolutional shock wave can disintegrate into six magnetohydrodynamic waves (which are discontinuous or centered simple waves, depending on the magnitude and direction of the initial magnetic field.
