Dmitri Kabalevsky composed two cello concertos. He is primarily a pianist and composer for piano.[1] Kabalevsky has a career as a music educator, composer and member of the International Society for Music Education (ISME).[2] Kabalevsky's works have been regarded unfavorably by many because of his associations and allegiance with the Communist Party and is referred to by some as a "Soviet Composer", who was "self-serving, sly, and opportunistic to the extreme."[3] However, his compositions including the two cello concertos are used by various students around the world to learn technique.[3]
