The virtuoso pianist and composer Isaac Albeniz was an instrumental figure in the development of the Spanish “nationalist” school of composition. Asturias-Leyenda is from his “Suite espanola” which contains eight pieces for piano with both geographical and generic titles. For example, Asturias is an old province of northwestern Spain, and a leyenda is a type of dance. |

This is usually played in Eb instead of D by using a capo at fret 1. Listen to Russell and Xui Fei play it. Definitely sounds better in a b key.
