Fritz Brun was born in Lucerne, Switzerland, on 18th August 1878. His father, a secondary school teacher, died when Fritz was eight years old. After early piano lessons, which enabled him to contribute to the family income with an engagement as a harmonium player at the Lucerne penitentiary church, Fritz continued to study theory under the organist Joseph Breitenbach. His subsequent piano teachers were Peter Fassbänder and Willem Mengelberg, the latter at that time a young musical director of the Lucerne City Conservatory.
