Check out my latest recording of Enesco's Legende, the piece is a firm favourite in the trumpet players repertoire!
Legende (1906) is a solo work for trumpet and piano, composed by Georges Enesco. It reflects the impressionistic style of Enesco's teachers Jules Massenet and Gabriel Faure. The title is a homage to Merri Franquin (professor of cornet at the Paris Conservatoire), the trumpeter who it was written for. The piece reflects an important evolution in the development of the trumpet, from a more archaic limited instrument, to a fully chromatic and soloist instrument.
