Dmitri Kabalevsky
1904 - 1987
Dmitri Kabalevsky was a Soviet composer and teacher. His extensive colourful and characterful pedagogical compositional oeuvre covered all graded as well as more advanced levels. Gradual technical development was taken into consideration in his works for learners.
📖 "You can't think you can write a pop song with your left foot or with whatever hand but if there is a symphony you need to sit behind the table, to think. You need to think about the pop song. If you don't think about it then it turns out to be trash and vulgarity, of which there are plenty now on the air. And the second conclusion is this: if you like light music this is completely natural. For example, if I didn’t like light music I wouldn't have written the music for Anton Ivanovich Is Angry. But if you like only light music then you are a poor fellow."
