Editing Paul Wittgenstein (section)

==Personal life==
Wittgenstein's wife, Hilde, had been his pupil; they had two children before their marriage, the first conceived after the first piano lesson, when Hilde was 18 and Paul 47. Because Hilde was not Jewish, Paul was open to charges of "[[Rassenschande|racial defilement]]"; in 1938 he fled to New York. In 1940, he spent seven months in Cuba, attempting to secure permanent visas for Hilde and himself, and they married in a Catholic ceremony in [[Havana]] on 20 August 1940.<ref>Alexander Waugh, ''The House of Wittgenstein: A Family at War'', 2008, ch. 65 'A Family Reunion'</ref> When his wife and children arrived in the U.S. in 1941, he set them up in a house on [[Long Island]], which he visited at weekends from his apartment on [[Riverside Drive (Manhattan)|Riverside Drive]].<ref name=":1"/> Wittgenstein became a U.S. citizen in 1946 and spent the rest of his life in the U.S., where he did much teaching as well as playing. He died in New York City in 1961 and was buried on Long Island, but later disinterred and reburied in Pinegrove Cemetery, South Sterling, [[Pike County, Pennsylvania]], where his widow had moved.{{Sfn|Pine Grove|p=}}
