The sudden death of Rubinstein's father necessitated the withdrawal of his mother and Nikolaus to Moscow, while Anton, on Dehn's advice, went to Vienna to seek a livelihood.

Rubinstein's profile by the way is still perfectly preserved in the face of his great-grandson the conductor Anton Sharoyev, whom I had the pleasure of meeting during the events in St. Petersburg celebrating the 175th anniversary of the composer's birth.
Anton, at the age of 12, had been made to forgo the chance of studying at the Paris Conservatoire, at the time the only state music school in the world open to pupils entirely on the basis of their musical talent.
Rubinstein's opera The Demon still appears on Russian stages, and some of his pleasantly Mendelssohnian chamber music is (theoretically) available on recent recordings, but opportunities of hearing his music live remain scarce even in his home country, so two concerts arranged to celebrate his anniversary offered a rare opportunity for evaluation.

 TOCCATA - Composer index of Anton Rubinstein
Anton Rubinstein was born at Vikhvatinets in the Podolsk district of the Russian Empire, on the borders of Moldavia, in 1829.
Rubinstein’s fortunes had changed as a result of a meeting with members of the Russian Imperial family during the course of an earlier visit to Paris.
Rubinstein, however, coupled technical assurance with a less overtly Russian approach, although by the time of his death in 1894 he had come to a better understanding of Russian nationalism in music, while a younger generation had come to understand the necessity of professional musical training.

 Rubinstein Anton English
Nevertheless, with the help of Anton, Nikolay Rubinstein founded the Moscow Conservatory, and by the end of the century Anton's vision of conservatories (and opera houses) all over Russia was to be realized, producing instrumentalists and singers of a higher quality than he could ever have foreseen.
This greatly enhanced the social status of musicians, and when Anton resumed the directorship of the St Petersburg Conservatory in 1887 he again became a pre-eminent figure in Russian musical education, whose far-reaching ideas were to be the basis of music as it is still taught in Russia.
In this powerful, imaginative and perceptive evocation of Ivan's complicated personality, Rubinstein dexterously incorporates a number of contrasting themes into an atypically unconventional variant of sonata form, with a slow, magisterial, fully integrated introduction; the inevitable sequences and diminished 7ths are for once used effectively and convincingly.

An unusual departure from Rubinstein's repertoire of romantic concertos was a performance of the Bach triple concerto in D Minor in New York with William Mason and the English-born, American-based Sebastian Bach Mills with Theodore Thomas conducting.

 Anton Rubinstein Symphony No. 5
The opening theme of the first movement in particular has something of the flavor of Orthodox plainchant, while the second-movement scherzo consists of two playful fugues on Russian subjects, one a perky dance theme spiced with grace-notes, the other a mournful minore of pentatonic simplicity.
The much-remarked resemblances between this work and Tchaikovsky's First Symphony, a work that Rubinstein had brusquely rejected for performance in 1866, are probably fortuitous.
One year after its inception the Sixth Symphony was published in full score by Rubinstein's principal publisher, Barthold Senff in Leipzig, with a dedication to the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, whose unstinting patronage was instrumental in launching his early career.

His very technical facility told against him so that by the time of his death his work was not properly valued by supporters of Russian musical nationalism.
As prolific here as in other forms of music, Rubinstein wrote a number of string quartets, three violin sonatas and two cello sonatas, in additon to other chamber works, none often heard, except possibly the sonata for viola and piano, a useful addition to an otherwise exiguous repertoire for the viola.

The sometimes questionable moniker "The Russian Brahms" would certainly seem to apply to Anton Rubinstein as far as these two very engaging works are concerned.
Both show the influence of the romantic, German school of composers, but with an underlying, Slavic lilt to their melodies that's reminiscent of Mikhail Glinka and even Frederic Chopin.
The quintet, which came later, is more stylistically advanced and may have been a source of inspiration to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who wrote one of his own for the same group of instruments.
