Biographical / Historical
Gottfried Galston, born in Vienna in 1879, completed his studies under Schenner at the Vienna Conservatory at the age of fifteen and then became a pupil of Theodore Leschetizky with whom he remained for five years. It was in Leipzig in 1900 that Galston made his piano debut. In 1903, he was appointed Professor at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin where he taught until 1907. At this time Galston also received significant honors, the title of Professor Extraordinary at the Imperial Conservatory in St. Petersburg and an invitation to perform at the Conservatory in Paris without the customary written application. In 1927, Galston settled in St. Louis, Missouri, where he taught at the St. Louis Institute of Music. He resided in St. Louis until his death in 1950.
