Carolyn,
This is from "The Clarinet" magazine Volume 6 No. 2, Spring 1979.It
is from an interview by Lee Gibson and Jim Gillespie.
Leister was born in
1937 in Wilhelmshaven, and first studied with his father who was Bass Cl in
the Radio Orch. Berlin. From 1953 to 1957 hs Studied at the Hochschule fur
musik with Heinrich Geuser. In 1957 he was named clarinetist in the Orchester
der Komischen Oper Berlin under Walter Felsenstein, and in September 1959, he
became Solo Cl. of the Berlin Phil.
I also remember seeing Leister in the
Weston series.

Subject: Karl
Leister

I've been assigned by my teacher to write a short, informative
essay on
Karl Leister of the Berlin Philharmonic. Unfortunately, I have
been
unable to locate any information on him at all. Can any of you tell me

anything about Mr. Leister? Even the most basic stats would be very

helpful, such as place of birth, and where and with whom he studied. Or
is
there a good reference book I could get that would have this info?

Any
help with this would be much appreciated--thanks!

Carolyn
