He received his formal music education at the Vienna Conservatory, where he studied under some of the most prominent music teachers of the time.

He quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent and became a sought-after performer. Wagner's performances were characterized by his technical brilliance, musical sensitivity, and emotional depth.
