Arnold, Yuri (Karlovich)
Arnold, Yuri (Karlovich), Russian writer on music and composer of German descent; b. St. Petersburg, Nov. 13, 1811; d. Karakash, Crimea, July 20, 1898. He studied at the German Univ. in Dorpat, and then was mainly active as a contributor to Russian journals. From 1863 to 1870 he also was the ed. of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik in Leipzig. He wrote a comic opera, Treasure Trove (St. Petersburg, Feb. 1, 1853), and the opera Si. John’s Eve, but the MSS were lost in a fire at the St. Petersburg Opera. His memoirs (3 vols., Moscow, 1893) are an invaluable portrait of 60 years of Russian musical life.
