About Siegfried Fink
Siegfried Fink was born 1928 in Zerbst/Anhalt (East Germany) and studied percussion and timpani as well as composition at the Music University "Franz Liszt" in Weimar. When people in the German Democratic Republic called his music, which was partly influenced by jazz, "decadent," and when they wanted to force him to obey the official GDR guidelines, he fled Communism with his wife Traudel and little daughter Cornelia to West Germany, where he became a "Nestor" of solo and ensemble percussion. After 17 years of solo and orchestral work, he became teacher, later professor and head of the percussion department at the University of Music in Wuerzburg (West Germany). Siegfried Fink founded many percussion series in many different European music publishing houses, such as Schott, Benjamin, Zimmermann, Wrede, Heinrichshofen, Vogt & Fritz, Boosey & Hawkes, and Leduc, and he grew to be one of the most often published percussionists in the world. Among his publications one can find more than 150 compositions for percussion instruments as well as chamber music, music for ballet, movies, TV, method books for all percussion instruments, and many editions of works by other authors, such as Keiko Abe's "Dream of the Cherry Blossoms" (Zimmermann).
