Dvorak: Legends Op.59 Nos. 1 - 5 - symphonic wind

Legends, Op. 59, B. 122 (Czech: Legendy), is a cycle of ten small-scale pieces by the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. The work was composed originally for piano duet, but later was arranged for a reduced orchestra.

In this set, I have arranged the first 5 legends for double wind quintet and bass (contrebass)

(alt parts are also provided for contrabassoon and tuba).

The double bass is based on the original orchestration - it differs slightly from the "wind/brass" bass part.....either part will "work".

Alt bass clts provided for bassoon parts.

This set contains:



1. Allegretto non troppo, quasi andantino (in D minor)
2. Molto moderato (in G major)
3. Allegro giusto (in G minor)
4. Molto maestoso (in C major)
5. Allegro giusto (in A♭ major)
