                                Legends all, anton.

                                Yes

                                And to allow you to concentrate on your M, the numerical aspect is of course: the first trio of the above each composed a Legend; Moeran his Two Legends; Sibelius: Four Legends from the Kalevala Op. 22 (aka Lemminkäinen Suite); and Dvorak: the ten Legends Op. 59
