Kabalevsky Requiem Part II
Dmitry Borisovich Kabalevsky (Russian: Дми́трий Бори́сович Кабале́вский; 30 December [O.S. 17 December] 1904 – 14 February 1987[1]) was a Russian composer.
He helped to set up the Union of Soviet Composers in Moscow and remained one of its leading figures. He was a prolific composer of piano music and chamber music; many of his piano works have been performed by Vladimir Horowitz. He is probably best known in the West for the "Comedians' Galop" from The Comedians Suite, Op. 26 and his third piano concerto.
Life
Kabalevsky was born in Saint Petersburg. His father was a mathematician and encouraged him to study mathematics; however, in early life he maintained a fascination with the arts, and became an accomplished young pianist, including a three-year stint as a pianist in silent theatres.[2] He also dabbled in poetry and painting. In 1925, against his father's wishes, he accepted a place at the Moscow Conservatory, studying composition under Nikolai Myaskovsky and piano with Alexander Goldenweiser. In the same year he joined PROKULL (Production Collective of Student Composers), a student group affiliated with Moscow Conservatory aimed at bridging the gap between the modernism of the ACM and the utilitarian "agitprop" music of the RAPM. He became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory in 1932.
During World War II, he wrote many patriotic songs, having joined the Communist Party in 1940, and was the editor of Sovetskaya Muzyka for its special six-volume publishing run during the war. He also composed and performed many pieces for silent movies and some theatre music.
In 1948, when Andrei Zhdanov declared his resolution on the directions that Soviet music should take, Kabalevsky was originally on the list of named composers who were the most guilty of formalism; however, due to his connections with official circles, his name was removed.[3] Another theory states that Kabalevsky's name was only on the list because of his position in the leadership of the Union of Soviet Composers.[4]
In general, Kabalevsky was not as adventurous as his contemporaries in terms of harmony and preferred a more conventional diatonicism, interlaced with chromaticism and major-minor interplay. Unlike fellow composer Sergei Prokofiev, he embraced the ideas of socialist realism, and his post-war works have been characterized as "popular, bland, and successful,"[5] though this judgement is attributed to many other composers of the time,[6] and some of Kabalevsky's best-known "youth works" date from this era (the Violin Concerto, the First Cello Concerto).
Perhaps Kabalevsky's most important contribution to the world of music-making is his consistent efforts to connect children to music. Not only did he write music specifically directed at bridging the gap between children's technical skills and adult aesthetics, but during his lifetime he set up a pilot program of music education in twenty-five Soviet schools. Kabalevsky himself taught a class of seven-year-olds for a time, teaching them how to listen attentively and put their impressions into words. His writings on this subject were published in the United States in 1988 as Music and education: a composer writes about musical education.
In 1961, Kabalevsky made some stereo recordings, conducting his Overture Pathetique, Spring, and Songs or Morning, which were released in the U.S. in 1975 on the Westminster Gold label.[7]
He was awarded a number of state honors for his musical works (including three Stalin Prizes). Kabalevsky had become quite a force in musical education. He was elected the head of the Commission of Musical Esthetic Education of Children in 1962 as well as being elected president of the Scientific Council of Educational Esthetics in the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR in 1969. Kabalevsky also received the honorary degree of president of the International Society of Musical Education. Kabalevsky wrote for all musical genres and was consistently faithful to the ideals of socialist realism. In Russia, Kabalevsky is most noted for his vocal songs, cantatas, and operas while overseas he is known for his orchestral music. Kabalevsky frequently travelled overseas; he was a member of the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace as well as a representative for the Promotion of Friendship between the Soviet Union and foreign countries.
His notable students included Leo Smit.
He died in Moscow on 14 February 1987.

Dmitri Borísovich Kabalevski (en ruso: Дми́трий Бори́сович Кабале́вский ) (San Petersburgo, 30 de diciembre de 1904 — Moscú, 17 de febrero de 1987) fue un compositor ruso de la era soviética.
Es considerado como uno de los grandes compositores modernos y una figura del nacionalismo soviético. Ayudó a fundar la Unión de Compositores Soviéticos en Moscú y fue una de sus figuras principales.
Biografía
Nacido en el seno de una familia modesta, su padre —matemático empleado de una aseguradora— le animó a estudiar matemáticas, mostrando sin embargo ya desde joven una fascinación por las artes, siendo un buen pianista, así como también hacia sus pinitos en poesía y pintura. En 1918, su familia se traslada a Moscú, ciudad en la que completa sus estudios secundarios y asiste a clases de pintura. En 1922, comienza sus estudios en la rama económica y social en el «Instituto Engels», paralelamente a sus estudios musicales en el «Instituto Scriabin».
Contra los deseos de su padre, accede al Conservatorio de Moscú en 1925, y allí tendrá como profesores a Nikolai Myaskovsky (composición) y a Alexandre Goldenweiser (piano). Sus primeras obras datan de finales de los años 20: Tres melodías de Alexandre Blok sobre poemas de éste (1927), una Sonata para piano (1927), el Cuarteto de cuerda n° 1 (1928), un Concierto para piano (1928), y la Sonatina para piano en Do (1930).
Excelente pedagogo —en 1932 será nombrado profesor asistente de composición en el Conservatorio de Moscú y será profesor titular en 1939—, es considerado un músico volcado con los niños. Su verdadera personalidad artística aparecerá en sus obras pedagógicas para piano: De la vida de un pionero (1934), recopilación de piezas fáciles para principiantes, Treinta piezas infantiles (1937-38), 24 preludios (1943), 24 piezas fáciles (1944). Las Sonatinas de las personalidades más importantes de la vida musical soviética. Será, sucesivamente, Secretario de la «Unión de Compositores de la URSS» (1940); redactor de la revista «Sovietskaia Musika»; premiado en cuatro ediciones del Premio Stalin de Estado (1946, 1949, 1951, y 1966); Artista del Pueblo en 1963; Presidente del Consejo Científico de Estética pedagógica en la «Academia de las Ciencias Pedagógicas de la URSS» (1969) y Presidente de la «International Society of Musical Association» (1972).
Forma parte de la primera generación de compositores soviéticos. Militante del PCUS, acatará las orientaciones de la política oficial en materia de creación artística (decretos de 1948). Su obra se integra en dicha política, encontrando su lugar en las formas tradicionales y populares de su país: sus cuatro conciertos para pìano (1929, 1935, 1952 y 1975), un concierto para violín (1948) y dos conciertos para violoncello (1948-49 y 1964) son obras impregnadas de un lirismo íntimo teñido de humor y de alegría de vivir.
Sus composiciones en formas musicales más ambiciosas (sinfonías, óperas) son ciertamente interesantes, pero en ellas Kabalevski se encuentra menos cómodo. Cuatro sinfonías (1932, 1933, 1934 y 1956), cinco óperas (El maestro artesano de Clamecy o Colas Breugnon, sobre la novela de Romain Rolland (1937), Al fuego o No lejos de Moscú (1943), La Familia de Tarass (1947-50), Nikita Verchinine (1953-54) y Los germanes (1967-69)) pertenecen a esta parte de su obra. Kabalevski también compondrá una opereta, escrita en 1957, La primavera canta.
Kabalevsky no era tan aventurero como sus contemporáneos en términos de armonía y y prefirió un diatonismo convencional, ligado al cromatismo y la relación modal mayor-menor. Al contrario que su compañero Serguéi Prokófiev, en los últimos años abrazó las ideas de realismo socialista, y sus trabajos de posguerra lo reflejan. Las obras patrióticas compuestas durante los años cuarenta (La Gran Patria (1942), Los Vengadores (1942), Los Leninistas (1959), el Réquiem en memoria de aquellos que murieron en la lucha contra el fascismo (1963) y Carta al Siglo XXX (1972) no han resistido muy bien el paso del tiempo. También compuso música incidental (Los comediantes 1933), algunas bandas sonora para películas mudas, además de canciones y algún ballet.
