[ Life | Works | Operas | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| Arensky, the Russian pianist, composer and conductor, was a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov at St. Petersburg Conservatoire and later taught at the Moscow Conservatoire, where he numbered Rachmaninov and Scriabin among his pupils. Arensky’s music reflects the influence of other composers, in particular Tchaikovsky. He was musical director of the Imperial Chapel in St. Petersburg from 1895 until 1901 and he travelled widely as a pianist and conductor.

| Arensky wrote two symphonies and a violin concerto, as well as a set of variations for strings on a theme by Tchaikovsky, a work originally composed for string quartet. MIDI FILE - "Fairy Tale", for violin and piano (2'03'') His best known composition is the Piano Trio in D minor, the first of two such works, which was written in 1894 and shows some influence of Mendelssohn.
