Légende (Enescu)
''Légende'' (1906) is a work for trumpet and piano, composed by George Enescu for the 1906 trumpet competition (''concours'') at the Paris Conservatory and premiered in the competition by students from the trumpet class of Professor Merri Franquin Merri Jean Baptiste Franquin (b. 19 October 1848, Lançon, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, d. 1934) was a French trumpeter, cornetist, and flugelhornist who was professor of trumpet at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1894 until 1925. Franquin was a te ..., to whom the work is dedicated. The fact that Enescu found it unnecessary to specify "chromatic trumpet" or "trumpet in C" in the work's title (which might have been normal just a few years earlier) may be seen as a testament to Franquin's influence in adopting of the modern, small trumpet . A simple listing of the performance indications which follow each other in the score indicates the constantly evolving character of the music: ''doux'', ''grave'', ''hésitante'', ''pathétique'', ' ...

Légende (Wieniawski)
''Légende'' Op. 17 is a showpiece by the Polish violin virtuoso Henryk Wieniawski, written for solo violin and orchestral accompaniment, though it is often performed using a piano reduction as a substitute for the orchestra. It is estimated to have been written in about 1860, though the exact date is unknown. Wieniawski’s ''Légende'' was instrumental in helping to secure his engagement to Isabella Hampton. Initially, Isabella’s parents did not approve of their daughter’s engagement to Wieniawski, but after they heard the piece, they were so impressed that they offered the young couple their blessing, and they were married in 1860. Structure and Analysis The showpiece can be divided into three main sections, loosely following an ABA format. ''Légende'' Op. 17 is in G minor, but the middle section is in the major mode. It is in 3/4 time. The mood is set from the start with a low melody in the horns, accompanied by delicate pizzicato (plucking) in the string sections. Af ...
