Piano pieces (Stepán) (1977)

"Unlike his massive orchestral tone poems, most of Josef Suks piano music is smaller in scale and often elegiac in nature. Yet it also is skillfully and idiomatically deployed for keyboard, and you can only wonder why pianists generally ignore such substantial, imaginative, and communicative piano music. Certainly the Op. 10 cycles opening Legend has everything a Romantically inclined virtuoso could wish for: soaring melodies, lush textures, just enough polyphony, and a grand climax." (Classicstoday)
