Weiner's ballet music composed to the verse drama Csongor és Tünde by the great Hungarian romantic poet Mihály Vörösmarty is a Classic of 20th-century Hungarian music for the stage. From the music of the ballet, premiered in 1930, the author wrote a six-movement orchestral suite in 1937 (op. 10b). The composer conjures up the poetic fabledom of a young couple, populated with fairies and witches, with excellent dramatic sense and visual fantasy, whereas his musical tools and the Hungarian colours applied with a refined taste broadly transcend the world of mere dance music.
