Anton Stepanovich Arensky
Mária Vojtovičová Anton Stepanovich Arensky Violin concerto in A minor, op. 54 Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Music Music Bachelor’s Thesis 16.05.2017 Abstract Mária Vojtovičová Author(s) Anton Stepanovich Arensky Title 24 pages + 1 appendix + CD: A. Arensky – Violin Concerto in A Number of Pages minor Date 23 April 2017 Degree Bachelor of Music Degree Programme Music Specialisation option Music Pedagogy Instructor(s) MuT Annu Tuovila I have chosen Anton Stepanovich Arensky and his Violin Concerto in A minor as an object of my practical and theoretical final project in Metropolia University of Applied Sciences for a very simple reason and that is, I believe he and his concert never got the attention they deserve. In the beginning of the thesis I go briefly through Arensky’s life and his entire work as there is not a lot known of him and we have very limited sources of information due to his short life and lack of interest in him. I provide a brief inside to the author’s life and work. The main part of the thesis is focused on the analysis of the concerto from the violinist’s point of view and analysis of my practicing process, suggested fingerings, bowings, and ways of interpretation. The recording of my performance of the concerto is also a part of this Bachelor’s Thesis. I believe this thesis will bring more attention to the author and this piece, as in its founda- tion it is a good repertoire choice that gives an opportunity to demonstrate the interpreter’s technical and lyrical qualities. -

He himself has long been recognised as a master of piano writing, the most famous example being his Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, famously pronounced unplayable (and worthless) by the great pianist Nikolai Rubinstein but which has become one of the best loved and most performed of all piano concertos. Tchaikovsky himself made piano versions of his own works, mostly for four hands, and approved paraphrases of his works by an admired piano virtuoso such as Paul Pabst (see volume 2 – divine art dda25106). -
Anton Arensky and the Rise of Musical Nationalism in Late Nineteenth-Century Russia
eSharp Issue 25:2 Rise and Fall Anton Arensky and the Rise of Musical Nationalism in Late Nineteenth-Century Russia Ingrid Bols (University of Glasgow) Anton Arensky (1861- 1906) was one of a new generation of Russian composers following the famous Mighty Handful of Balakirev, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin and Cui. He entered the newly-founded Conservatoire of St Petersburg, to study piano and composition, in 1879. In the class of Rimski-Korsakov, he became a very talented student. As soon as he graduated, he achieved the honour of a direct nomination to professorship in the Conservatoire of Moscow. There he taught counterpoint and harmony, with Scriabin and Rachmaninov among his students. His successful life, and posthumous lack of fame, formed a violent rise and fall. Most later commentators consider him as a composer without a distinctive style. However, his work can be viewed in a different light. Arensky was born during the core period of musical nationalism. This movement, whether in central and northern Europe or in Russia, rose in reaction to the imperialism of German style. Music could no longer be considered an ars gratia artis concept, but became the flagship of national demands. In Russia, Glinka (1804-1857), the ‘Father of Russian Music’, considered the nation as ‘creator’ and the composer as an ‘arranger’, and argued that Russian music should be distinct from Western canons. Arensky belonged to this rising trend through his position at the very heart of Russian institutions, his integration of Russian folklore, such as tunes, literature and legends, and his use of Orthodox music. -
