Description
“Prelude” T.101 (Op. 232) also known as “Leyenda” or “Asturias” is a classic example of misnaming by the publisher of Albéniz’ music. The style is clearly of Andalucia and not the northern state of Asturias. Previous guitar editions have further confused with markings, rewritings and interpretations far from the piano score.

The renowned Spanish musicologist Jacinto Torres has published a thematic catalog of Albéniz’s music that offers the only reliable organization of his compositions. Thus, T. numbers are now the principal means of establishing the sequence in which his works came into being. Opus numbers appear here only in brackets. (Walter A. Clark)
