He wrote several children's works in the 1920s, including See the Gypsies Munching Cheese and The Straw Guy. His 1943 Missa Brevis was dedicated to his wife, but the year after she died, he married a 19-year-old student. His peak decade of composition was the 1930s, in which he produced his Peacock Variations, Spinning Room, Te Deum of Budavar, and Dances of Galanta, but he may be best known for a suite from a 1926 opera, based on The Veteran by János Garay, about a hussar in the Austrian army.
