Leó Weiner

(1885–1960) composer, music pedagogue

In the history of music, Leó Weiner is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Leó Weiner as (1885–1960) composer, music pedagogue.

Leó Weiner was born at Budapest in 1885. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He was educated at Franz Liszt Academy of Music.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.

The record gives his occupations as composer, musicologist and music educator.

His affiliations include Franz Liszt Academy of Music.

A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.

His recorded fields of work are music composing, music education and music.

His work was formally recognised with the Kossuth Prize, Great Artist of Hungary Award and Order of the Red Banner of Labour.

That the work was done from Hungary matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Leó Weiner died in 1960 at the age of 75. The work outlived the arguments around it.
