Anton Arensky

Anton Arensky was a 19th-century Russian composer who mixed Romantic drama with classical finesse. Born in 1861, he studied under Rimsky-Korsakov and later taught at the Moscow Conservatory, mentoring heavyweights like Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Though deeply influenced by his idol Tchaikovsky, Arensky had his own flair—think lush melodies and emotional swells balanced by tidy structures. His *Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky* remains a staple for string orchestras, and his piano works, like the *24 Morceaux caractéristiques*, show off his knack for intimate, storytelling music. Sadly, Arensky’s battles with personal demons cut his career short—he died at 44 in 1906—but his chamber music and orchestral gems still charm listeners today.
