of his father, himself a musician, he began his studies at the Moscow
Conservatory, where he learned piano in the class of Alexander Goldenweiser
and composition with Nikolai Miaskovsky, who was particularly influential on Kabalevsky’s developing
musical vision. He was a front liner among the first generation of Soviet composers, and his music
found its place in traditional and popular forms of musical language. Kabalevsky embraced ideas of
“Socialist Reality” and joined the Communist Party.He was a very productive
composer of piano and chamber music, as well as orchestral works. generally, he was not as
adventurous in the field of harmony as were his contemporaries, and he preferred a conventional
diatonic language.

an Italian mother. Ginastera described his music as grouped into three periods: “Objective
Nationalism”, “Subjective Nationalism” and "Neo-Expressionism”. During his early period he usually
integrated Argentine folk themes quite directly into his works, while in later periods he used traditional
folk elements more abstractly.
