Dmitry Kabalevsky (1904-1987) is a name that often evokes mixed feelings. As a loyal member of the Soviet establishment, he survived the infamous 1948 Party Decree that censured Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and others for "formalism"—a fancy term for music the authorities deemed too complex for the proletariat.
