Although his fame rests largely on other musical genres, Dvorák was a gifted and imaginative composer for the piano. His mastery is evident in this 10-piece cycle for piano four hands, similar in concept to the popular "character pieces" prevalent throughout 19th-century piano music. Sensitive and skillfully written, these poetic compositions brilliantly capture the era's romantic sentiment. Previously available only in two volumes, the complete Legends are reproduced here in a convenient, single-volume edition, sure to appeal to pianists, music lovers, and admirers of Dvorák. Dover original compilation of 10 works from authoritative editions.
