Schnittke was born in the Soviet Union in 1934 into a Russian Jewish family. The father was a German Jew from the Baltic area, and the mother was a Catholic from Germany. Given this, his first language was German. In 1945 for three years, he lived and studied in Vienna where he heard much of the music that has shaped him as a composer. In 1953, he began studies at the Moscow Conservatory with Evgeny Golubev in composition and Nikolai Rakov in orchestration.
