Dvorak Legends Op.59 for Piano 4 Hands
rev. by Frantisek Bartos, Antonin Pokorny, Karel Solc
Dvorak`s cycle of ten pieces for four-hand piano entitled Legends was, from the outset (1881), set in contradiction to his Slavonic Dances - also written originally for four hands - as their lyrical counterpart. Moreover, like both series of Slavonic Dances, it wasn`t long before the composer wrote an orchestral arrangement of his Legends as well. The cycle is more contemplative and more intimate in its expression. Since it has a relatively lower degree of technical difficulty, the pieces are sought-after by pianists as a favourite addition to their repertoire.
