Arthur Ivan Allin (December 3, 1847 – January 31, 1926) was a Danish violinist, organist, conductor and composer.
Arthur Allin has never specialized himself as a musician. As his interests have been many-sided, his field of work has been extensive, more so presumably than he dreamed when he, as a 12-year old boy, stepped into Tivoli Gardens and beat the little drum in "Old Lumbye's" orchestra.
Arthur Ivan Allin was born in Copenhagen, Denmark the 3rd of December 1847. In the days of his childhood he had music instructions from Adolf Hartmann (piano), Valdemar Tofte (violin), and Peter Rasmussen (theory).

Famous quotes containing the word arthur:
“Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs?
And We created you in pairs,
and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
and We appointed night for a garment,
and We appointed day for a livelihood.
And We have built above you seven strong ones,
and We appointed a blazing lamp
and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
and gardens luxuriant.”
—Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
