I believe that this piece forms part of the Suite Española no. 1 that is already in the game.Albeniz - Asturias (Leyenda) (1892)
The piece, which lasts around six minutes in performance, was originally written for the piano and set in the key of G minor. It was first published in Barcelona, by Juan Bta. Pujol & Co., in 1892 as the prelude of a three-movement set entitled Chants d'Espagne.I believe that this piece forms part of the Suite Española no. 1 that is already in the game.
Tchaikovsky - Symphony no. 6 in B Minor (1876)
La Suite española Op. 47 del compositor español Isaac Albéniz está compuesta principalmente de obras escritas en 1886 que se agruparon en 1887, en honor de la Reina de España. Como muchas de las obras para piano de Albéniz, estas piezas son cuadros de diferentes regiones y músicas de España. Esta obra se inscribe dentro de la corriente nacionalista relacionada con el Romanticismo. Albéniz estaba entonces bajo el influjo de Felipe Pedrell, quien lo apartó de la música de salón estética europeística y lo atrajo hacia el nacionalismo, en este caso español. Pero, por otro lado, el suyo es un nacionalismo pasado por el tamiz del refinamiento y la estilización.The piece, which lasts around six minutes in performance, was originally written for the piano and set in the key of G minor. It was first published in Barcelona, by Juan Bta. Pujol & Co., in 1892 as the prelude of a three-movement set entitled Chants d'Espagne.
The name Asturias (Leyenda) was given to it posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister, who included it in the 1911 "complete version" of the Suite española, although Albéniz never intended the piece for this suite. Despite the new name, this music is not considered suggestive of the folk music of the northern Spanish region of Asturias, but rather of Andalusian flamenco traditions (although the drama of the music is congruent with the landscape of the region of Asturias). Leyenda, Hofmeister's subtitle, means legend.
