Weiner's three string quartets have been recorded (on ASV Records at least). They are also in this group's repertoire: [1] Weiner's op. 4 in E♭ from 1906, opus 13 in F♯ minor from 1921, and the 'Pastorale,Fantasy and Fuge' from 1938, opus 26.
There are two violin sonatas (several times recorded, one of them more often than another- one in D major opus 9 and one in F♯ minor opus 11- see e.g. the Szabadi discography which lists the two sonatas and their dedicatees, Hubay and Erica Morini). F♯ minor is, in passing one notes,a key he seems to have used more often than some other composers I could mention, but see below.) There are two violin concertos, in D major opus 41 and F♯ minor opus 45, and a piano concertino. The second violin concerto is recorded, I believe the first is also and the piano concertino (yes re the 1926 concertino: CD has Concertino for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 15, Divertimento No. 1, Op. 20, Romance for Cello, Harp and Orchestra, op. 29, Divertimento No. 2, Op. 24). And world premiere recording of the second violin concerto (which is actually based on that 2nd violin sonata.) The works on that CD are Pastorale, phantaisie et fugue for String Orchestra, Op. 23, Romance for Cello, Harp and String Orchestra, Op. 29, Concertino for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 15, Carnival for Small Orchestra, Op. 5 and the concerto for violin and orchestra no. 2 in F-sharp op. 45 (the concertino is a different recording, different pianist.)
