Anton Arensky was both a pianist and composer, born in 1861. His Mother (who taught him music) was an excellent pianist and his Father was a doctor and cellist, who encouraged him in music. His music is purely that, musical and direct, speaking to the heart, and he is best known for his chamber music and his solo piano works. The four pieces for cello and piano were probably written for his friend Karl Davidoff, a great cellist of the 19th century. What is particularly lovely is that each piece captures a tableau or mood, often mirrored in the title itself. He was a relative minimalist, in contrast to Rachmaninoff – indeed in Chanson Triste the pianist only uses the left-hand voice!
