Anton Arensky (12 July [O.S. 30 June] 1861 – 25 February [O.S. 12 February] 1906) was a Russian composer of Romantic classical music, a pianist and a professor of music. Arensky was a professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Among his students there were Scriabin, Rachmaninov and Gretchaninov. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was the greatest influence on Arensky's musical compositions. Arensky are best known for his chamber music, including two string quartets, two piano trios, and a piano quintet. Despite a long-term neglect of his music, in recent years a large number of his compositions have been recorded.
