Timeline

1935

Georg Katzer (10 January 1935 – 7 May 2019) was a German composer and teacher.

The last master student of Hanns Eisler, he composed music in many genres, including works for the stage.

Katzer was one of the pioneers of electronic new music in the German Democratic Republic and the founder of the first electronic-music studio in the GDR.

He held leading positions in music organisations, first in the East (Akademie der Künste der DDR), then in the united Germany (Academy of Arts, Berlin, and Deutscher Musikrat), and received many awards, including the Art Prize of the German Democratic Republic, the National Prize of the German Democratic Republic, the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German Music Authors' Prize.

Katzer was born in Habelschwerdt, Lower Silesia (now Bystrzyca Kłodzka, Poland), on 10 January 1935.

1954

From 1954 to 1960 he studied piano, music theory, and composition with (amongst others) Rudolf Wagner-Régeny and Ruth Zechlin at the Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik in East Berlin, then from 1957 to 1958 he studied in Prague with Karel Janáček.

1960

In the late 1960s he came under the influence of Witold Lutosławski and Bernd Alois Zimmermann, departing from conventional tonality and forms.

From this point on, his vocabulary included serial, aleatory, and collage techniques, as well as electronic sounds.

His compositions included works for chamber ensembles, orchestral works, solo concertos, operas, ballets, puppet plays, and oratorios.

His work also encompassed electroacoustical pieces, music for radio dramas, multimedia projects, and projects involving improvised music.

His compositions are held by the Saxon State and University Library Dresden, including:
