Leό Weiner was Professor of Chamber Music, Theory, and Composition at the Budapest Academy of Music from 1908, and held the position for the rest of his life. Born in Budapest in 1885, he was a contemporary of Bartók and Kodály, but unlike them, was influenced by Bizet, Mendelssohn, and Brahms.
Weiner used the material from Peregi Verbunk in three published works. The clarinet version is the most often performed of the various incarnations. The piece begins with an introduction, followed by three verbunkos (recruiting dance) tunes, which are then embellished with sweeping arpeggios in a variation, and further developed in an extended cadenza. A coda incorporating previous material concludes the piece. Guy Yehuda
