Chopin Complete Works III – Ballades
Frederic Chopin
Ignace Jan Paderewski (Editor)
Initiated a new genre of piano music; the ballades are not known earlier in instrumental music. Widely defined phrases, accelerated and slowed musical narrative, culminations in great climaxes, or ending with codas full of pathos – these qualities give Chopin’s ballads a special, epic tone.
