# Paul Wittgenstein

> Paul Wittgenstein was an Austrian-American concert pianist notable for commissioning new piano concerti for the left hand alone, after his right arm was amputated during World War I. He devised novel techniques, including pedal and hand-movement combinations, that allowed him to play chords previously thought impossible for a five-fingered pianist.

*Austrian pianist of Jewish heritage, emigrant from Nazi Austria to USA (1887-1961)*
