    FL72408-booklet*.indd, Spread 1 van 6 - Pagina’s (12, 1) 15-06-2006 10:36 ANTON ARENSKY: Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, op. 32 Anton Stepanovich Arensky (born 1861 in Novgorod, died 1906 in Terijoki, Finland) was a Russian composer, conductor and pianist. Arensky grew up in a musical family and composed his first songs and piano pieces at the tender age of nine. He was a pupil and protégé of Rimsky-Korsakov at the St Pe- tersburg Conservatory and later taught harmony and counterpoint at the Moscow Conservatory where his pupils included Rachmaninov and Scriabin. His works include two symphonies and three operas, but the best known of his compositions is his first piano trio. He suffered from alcohol and gambling dependency from a young age, which caused him even more problems towards the end of his short life. He would ultimately spend the last years of his life in a sanatorium in Finland in an attempt to recover from the tuberculosis that he was battling. Although many of his works have a Russian feel, he was not as nationalistic as Rimsky-Korsakov. His greatest influence was Tchaikovsky (particularly his lyrical style), whose music drew inspiration more from traditional elements than from Russian nationalism. This is also a strong feature of Arensky’s music: his harmonies are euphonious, rich and romantic, his phrasing is poetic. RANDAL CORSEN Rimsky-Korsakov predicted that Arensky would be forgotten, and to an extent he was right. Fortu- nately, however, his successful and ingenious Trio in D minor, composed in 1894 and dedicated to the virtuoso cellist and director of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Karl Davidov, who had died in 1889, has stood the test of time.

  • B. Richardson the Impact of Panama Money in Barbados in the Early Twentieth Century
    B. Richardson The impact of Panama money in Barbados in the early twentieth century In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 59 (1985), no: 1/2, Leiden, 1-26 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl BONHAM RICHARDSON THE IMPACT OF PANAMA MONEY IN BARBADOS IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY In March of 1911, the planter-dominated Barbados House of Assem- bly passed an act supporting the establishment of large, central sugar- grinding factories on the island, thereby acknowledging that modernization finally was necessary in Barbados's antiquated sugar industry. Important changes soon followed. By 1920 central grinding factories had become noticeably dominant on Barbados, whose cane, up until that time, had been processed mainly at small, planter-owned windmills. Barbadian planters had long been aware of the economic advantages of large sugar factories to Trinidad and British Guiana. Furthermore, they had monitored closely the evolution of giant Ameri- can sugar cane estates in the Greater Antilles. Yet these same Barba- dian planters had heretofore been reluctant to reorient methods of producing sugar on their own island because of the high overhead expense and the susceptibility of such reorientation to outside financial domination. These striking changes in the Barbadian sugar cane industry of the early twentieth century were precipitated by the exodus of thousands from the local plantation labor force, starting in 1904, to work on the Panama Canal. In urging passage of the Assembly's central sugar milling act, assemblyman Stanley Robinson, a leading planter of Bar- bados's St. George parish, pointed out why the bill now was necessary: "Two things have enabled planters up to the present time to continue the obsolete and wasteful muscovado process, namely, cheap labour, and fairly good prices for molasses.
