The One-Handed Pianist
Episode 3 of 4
Margaret Stonborough investigates the life of her great uncle, the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, through the family archive.
The great-niece of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, Margaret Stonborough, talks to artist and historian Michael Huey as she delves into six boxes of newly-inherited family archives. As she digs deeper into the talented but tortured lives of the Wittgensteins she finds her cramped London house becoming ever more crowded with her larger-than-life forbears.
Margaret uncovers details of the life of her great uncle Paul Wittgenstein who, after the First World War, was determined to continue his career as a concert pianist, despite the loss of his right arm.
The readers are Sarah Finch, Nicholas Rowe and Dan Starkey.
