Asturias (Leyenda)

Asturias(Leyenda) is written by Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. It's originally written for piano and set in the key of G minor. The name was given to it posthumously by 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.(Wiki)
