Work introduction
Legends and Tales is a suite for solo piano comprised of seven movements: "Prelude"; "The Boy Who Cried: Wolf!"; "The Gingerbread Man"; "The Ugly Duckling"; "Curly Locks"; "The Tooth Fairy"; and "David and Goliath." For the inspiration, the suite is dedicated to the composer's daughter, Evelyn Sarah; for the realization, the suite is dedicated to Elizabeth Pridgen, piano. Similar in conception and scope to Schumann's "Kreisleriana."
