アントン・アレンスキー
"Prince Rostislav" is dedicated to Anton Arensky, who was one of his teachers at the conservatory. Rachmaninoff made no attempt to have the work performed during his life. The first performance of both "Prince Rostislav" and another early work, the Scherzo in D minor, took place in Moscow on 2 November 1945, conducted by Nikolai Anosoff. "Prince Rostislav" was published in 1947.
