Life and career
Life and career
Born in 1907 in Kharkiv, Klebanov began to learn the violin at age six, and a year later began studies in violin and composition at the Kharkiv Institute of Music and Drama. He graduated in 1926 in composition, supervised by Semyon Bogatyrev. Klebanov was a violinist in the Leningrad Kirov Orchestra. He returned to Kharkov to study with Herman Adler. He conducted the Kharkov Radio Orchestra in the 1930s. He lectured at the Kharkiv Music and Drama Institute from 1934. Early compositions included the ballets Lelechnia (Little Storks) and Svitlana, and a violin concerto. During World War II, Klebanov was evacuated to Tashkent in the Uzbek SSR, until he returned in 1943, settling first in Kyiv, then in 1945 in Kharkiv again. He was appointed head of the local branch of the Union of Composers of Ukraine and head of the department for composition in the Department of Music and Drama Institute. When he dedicated his First Symphony "In Memoriam to the Martyrs of Babi Yar" (1947) to the victims of the Babyn Yar massacre, he was criticized by Communist party critics, the citation naming him a "rootless cosmopolitan", alluding to his Jewish roots. He had been called a "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalist" when he had dedicated his String Quartet No. 4 to the memory of Mykola Leontovych. He was dismissed from his posts. In 1960, during Khrushchev's "thaw", he was again appointed professor at the Kharkiv Conservatory (from 1963 the Kharkiv Institute of Arts). In 1966, he was a member of the jury of the third International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. He held the teaching position until 1987. Among his students were Valentin Bibik, Vitaliy Hubarenko, and Viktor Suslin.
