Legends, Op. 59 (B. 117)

by Antonín Dvořák

Catalogue Op. 59
Composed 1881
Published 1881
Works 10

Ten character pieces for piano four hands composed in 1881. Less explicitly nationalistic than the Slavonic Dances, the Legends are lyrical, intimate tone poems that Brahms particularly admired — he wrote to Simrock: 'I have sat over them as over something quite delightful.' Dvořák orchestrated them in 1883.
