Leo Weiner

Hungarian Classical Composer and Music Educator

Leo Weiner (1885–1960) was a prominent Hungarian composer and music educator, known for his contributions to chamber music and his influence on the Hungarian music scene. He was not a recording artist or band, but rather a classical composer whose works have been performed and recorded by various artists over the years. Weiner's compositions often drew inspiration from Hungarian folk music, which is reflected in pieces such as his "Divertimentos" and "Hungarian Folk Dance Suites." His style was rooted in Romanticism, with a particular affinity for the late-Romantic idiom, yet he incorporated elements of folk idioms into his classical compositions.
