Anton Arensky was born in Novgorod, Russia on July 12, 1861. He studied from 1873 until 1882 with Johannson and Rimsky-Korsakov at the conservatory in St. Petersburg. As soon as 1883 he became composition teacher at the conservatory in Moscow. In 1895 he returned to St. Petersburg and became director of the Court Choral Group. Arensky died from a lung ailment on February 25, 1906 in Terioki, Finland.
Among the works of Arensky the most important ones next to his song compositions, are mainly the Piano Trio No.1 op.32 in d minor, written in 1894, and the String Quartet No.2, Op.35 in a minor of the same year. In dedicating this work to the memory of Tchaikovsky, the composer gave the work the special importance of a requiem. Scoring the work differently from the customary string quartet for one violin, one viola and two cellos was intended to create a darker, heavier sound, corresponding to the serious occasion of this composition.
