You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Arensky Anton Postcard-1910.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Anton Arensky, 1895]]
'''Anton Stepanovich Arensky''' (((lang-ru|Анто́н Степа́нович Аре́нский)); ((OldStyleDate|12 July|1861|30 June)) – ((OldStyleDate|25 February|1905|12 February))) was a Russian composer of [[Romantic music|Romantic classical music]], a pianist and a professor of music.

==Biography==
Arensky was born into an affluent, music-loving family in [[Novgorod]], [[Russia]]. He was musically precocious and had composed a number of songs and piano pieces by the age of nine. With his mother and father, he moved to [[Saint Petersburg]] in 1879, after which he studied composition at the [[Saint Petersburg Conservatory]] with [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]].

After graduating from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1882, Arensky became a professor at the [[Moscow Conservatory]]. Among his students there were [[Alexander Scriabin]], [[Sergei Rachmaninoff]], and [[Alexander Gretchaninov]].<ref>((See LMST|Anton|Arensky))</ref>

In 1895, Arensky returned to Saint Petersburg as the director of the Imperial Choir, a post for which he had been recommended by [[Mily Balakirev]]. He retired from this position in 1901, living off a comfortable pension and spending his remaining time as a pianist, conductor, and composer.

Arensky died of [[tuberculosis]] in a sanatorium in [[Kirillovskoye, Leningrad Oblast|Perkjärvi]], in what was then the Russian-administered [[Grand Duchy of Finland]], at the age of 44. While very little is known about his private life, Rimsky-Korsakov alleges that drinking and gambling undermined his health.<ref>Nikolai A. Rimski-Korsakov, ''Moei muzikal'noy zhizni, 1844-1906''. St. Petersburg 1909 ([http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/c/ca/IMSLP41485-PMLP52433-MaVieMusicale.pdf Translation in French] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417042941/http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/c/ca/IMSLP41485-PMLP52433-MaVieMusicale.pdf |date=2016-04-17 )))</ref> He was buried in the [[Tikhvin Cemetery]].

The [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] [[Arensky Glacier]] was named after him.

==Music==

[[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky]] was the greatest influence on Arensky's musical compositions. Indeed, [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov|Rimsky-Korsakov]] said, "In his youth, Arensky did not escape some influence from me; later, the influence came from Tchaikovsky. He will quickly be forgotten."  The perception that he lacked a distinctive personal style contributed to long-term neglect of his music, though in recent years, a large number of his compositions have been recorded.  Especially popular are the ''[[Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky (Arensky)|Variations on a Theme of Tchaikovsky]]'' for string orchestra, Op. 35a - arranged from the slow movement of Arensky's 2nd string quartet, and based on one of Tchaikovsky's ''Songs for Children'', Op. 54.

Arensky was, perhaps, at his best in the genre of [[chamber music]], in which he wrote two [[string quartet]]s, two [[piano trio]]s, and a [[piano quintet]].
