This article will cover Russian composer Dmitri Kabalevsky’s Cello Concertos, considering historical context and stylistic features of the two pieces. There is a need for this article as there are other articles describing different works by Kabalevsky but none for his cello concertos. As both pieces were written during the time of the USSR, there are important historical contexts that need to be brought to light, which have influenced the pieces. One of the concertos was written with the intention of furthering music education in the USSR as seen in articles from the International Society for Music Education (ISME) during the time of Kabalevsky’s composition. Also, as Kabalevsky left such a great legacy in music education and music in general in the Soviet Union, it is only right that such a collaborative and recognized research space should include works by this esteemed composer. I am aware that music is generally considered to be subjective and that it will be hard to use an encyclopedic tone throughout the article, however I believe I can adhere to these requirements as most of the more ‘subjective’ parts are widely known and accepted facts. I also have several sources, both primary and secondary, and a variety at that, which can back up the information I will give.
