Leo Weiner was born in Budapest in 1885 and studied during the years 1901-6 at the Landesakademie, where he later became a professor. Most of Weiner's compositions appear to be in the form of chamber music, with which he made a considerable name for himself. His String Quartet in F sharp minor won the Coolidge Prize in 1921. The Sonata No. 1 in D was published in 1912.
