Open the sheet music libraryAnton Arensky (1861-1906)
Russian composer taught by Rimsky-Korsakov and devoted to Tchaikovsky, whose shadow he never really left; Rimsky said as much about him, unkindly, after his death. He taught Rachmaninoff and Scriabin at the Moscow Conservatory, which is a considerable legacy on its own. The chamber music and the piano miniatures are where he is most himself, and the best of them are lovely. He gambled and drank, and tuberculosis killed him at forty-four.
Start with these
The easiest Arensky on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Arensky rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
