He was the older brother of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein was born in Vienna to the industrialist Karl Wittgenstein. His brother Ludwig was born two years later. The household was frequently visited by prominent cultural figures, among them the composers Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Josef Labor and Richard Strauss, with whom the young Paul played duets. His grandmother, Fanny Wittgenstein, was a distant cousin of the violinist Joseph Joachim, whom she adopted and took to Leipzig to study with Felix Mendelssohn. He studied with Malvine Bree and later with a much better known figure, the Polish virtuoso Theodor Leschetizky. He made his public debut in 1913 and some favourable reviews were written about him.
