George Enesco's "Legend" composed in 1906, was written for the graduation

exam of the National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris and

dedicated to the famous French trumpet player Merri Franquin (1848-1934). This

piece is a single-movement composition with a rondo form. The melody is both

beautiful and compact, beginning with the narration of the birth of a trumpet legend, undergoing various trials and culminating in a pinnacle, before quietly retiring, leaving behind an eternal legend.
