Dear piano lovers, today I am playing the Little Song op.27 nr.2 by Dmitri Kabalevsky out of his cycle “30 pieces for children“. I like the melancholy and beautiful melody in this piece. Composer of the Soviet era compose mostly tonal but sometimes have a spice of dissonance in their music that makes it interesting. Kabalevsky wrote very interesting pieces for children that can build a bridge to intermediate piano repertoire.

Dmitry Borisovich Kabalevsky (1904 –1987) was a Soviet composer and teacher of Russian gentry descent.

He helped set up the Union of Soviet Composers in Moscow and remained one of its leading figures during his lifetime. He was a prolific composer of piano music and chamber music; many of his piano works were performed by Vladimir Horowitz. He is best known in Western Europe for his Second Symphony, the "Comedians' Galop" from The Comedians Suite, Op. 26 and his Third Piano Concerto.
