Leonhard Kleber

Born: 1495, Goppingen, Germany

Died: 4th March 1556, Pforzheim, Germany

Nationality: German

Leonhard Kleber was a German organist, and probably composer, of the Renaissance.

He was born in Göppingen. He graduated from Heidelberg University in 1512, and was probably a pupil of the famous blind organist and composer Arnolt Schlick around that time. He is known to have held three positions after his graduation: at Horb am Neckar, as organist and vicar-choral, in 1516 and 1517; at Esslingen am Neckar as organist until 1521; and at Pforzheim from 1521 on, where he was organist at the collegiate and parish church.
