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 V. Horowitz. He is probably best known in the West for the "Comedians' Galop" from The Comedians Suite, Op. 26 and his second piano concerto.
LifeKabalevsky 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 art, and became an accomplished young pianists, including three years served as a pianist at the Silent Theatre he also dabbled in poetry and painting. In 1925, against the wishes of his father, 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 the Moscow Conservatory aimed at bridging the gap between the modernism of the ACM and the utilitarian "agitprop" music such RAPM.

Another theory states that Kabalevsky's name on the list only because of its position in the leadership of the Soviet Composers Union.In general, Kabalevsky not as adventurous as his contemporaries in terms of harmony and prefer a more conventional diatonicism, interlaced with chromaticism and large pieces together. Unlike fellow composer Sergei Prokofiev, he embraced the ideas of socialist realism, and post-war work has been characterized as "popular, bland, and success," although this judgment is attributed to other composers of the time, and some of the most famous Kabalevsky's "Youth Concerto" dates from this era (Violin Concerto, Cello Concerto is the first).Perhaps the most important contribution Kabalevsky music world is making consistent efforts to connect children to music.
