Leó Weiner (1885-1960) was recognized both as a composer and a teacher of chamber music. World-famous Hungarian musicians and string quartets pointed to him as their legendary maestro. His transcriptions for string orchestra of ten pieces from Bartók's cycle For Children are a masterpiece from a genuine musician: in it, besides simply providing study pieces for young orchestras, he also, and far more importantly, introduces learners of string instruments to the unique, incomparable musical world that Bartók's pieces for children inhabit.

This volume, previously available in the Leggiero series, is now, in a new guise, part of the series Treasury for String Ensembles.

Treasury for String Ensembles provides carefully selected original compositions and arrangements from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, compiled in volumes according to level of difficulty, from beginner's level to professional.

  • Intermediate: typically for three violins and cello or string quartet or youth string orchestra.
  • Advanced: typically for string quartet or string quintet (with double bass) or string orchestra.

The volumes are published in both printed and digital form. The printed edition contains the score and one copy of each part. Further copies can be ordered for the purposes of orchestral performance. The digital edition can be viewed on screen, and the parts can also be downloaded as A4-sized PDF files. The digital edition comes free with the printed edition, using the unique code provided.
