Legend No. 6, Opus 59

Legends Opus 59 is a 40-minute group of 10 pieces composed by Dvorak in the late winter of 1881 for two pianos four hands. Later that year he orchestrated the entire volume for orchestra, each movement with its own unique instrumentation. Written during his Slavic period, the works are not intended to suggest a narrative, but are charmingly and lyrically evocative. Opus 59 No 6 is originally in C# minor, here orchestrated for brass ensemble in C minor.
