Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (Spanish pronunciation:[iˈsakalˈβeniθ]; 29 May 1860 – 18 May 1909) was a Spanish virtuosopianist, composer, and conductor. He is one of the foremost composers of the post-romantic era who also had a significant influence on his contemporaries and younger composers. He is best known for his piano works based on Spanish folk music idioms.[1] Isaac Albéniz was close to the Generation of '98.

Asturias
Asturias - the composer Isaac Albéniz called it Leyenda - was written for piano. The name change was made posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister, who included it in the "Complete Edition" of the "Suite española". Contrary to the name change, this composition was not attributed to the traditional folk music of the Asturias region, but rather comes from the Andalusian flamenco tradition.
It is not possible to transcribe this piece exactly for the flute. This arrangement comes from the Spanish flutist Francisco López.
