Asturias (Leyenda) is one of Isaac Albéniz's most famous works from his Suite Española, Op. 47. Although originally composed for piano, it became immensely popular in classical guitar arrangements due to its strong flamenco influences and percussive rhythms that translate exceptionally well to the guitar. The piece evokes the landscape and folk music of the Asturias region in northern Spain with its dramatic contrasts between passionate, energetic sections and delicate, lyrical passages.
