Fryderyk Chopin Ballads

The term "ballade" was associated with French poetry until the mid-19th century, when Chopin was among the first to pioneer it as a musical form.
Fryderyk Chopin may be said to be the creator of the Ballade as a distinct genreю.
Fryderyk Chopin wrote his Ballade no. 1 in G minor, Op. 23, in 1831.
The Ballade no. 1 in G minor is one of the more popular Chopin pieces.
The Ballade no. 2, Op. 38, was composed from 1836 to 1839 and dedicated to Schumann, in return for his dedication of the Kreisleriana.
Fryderyk Chopin wrote his Ballade no. 3 in A flat major, Op. 47, in 1841, and published it with dedication to Pauline de Noailles. It shares some similarities with the Raindrop Prelude, as both of them were said to be inspired by a disastrous trip to Majorca with George Sand.
FryderykChopin composed his fourth Ballade, Op. 52, in 1842 in Paris. He dedicated it to Baroness Rothschild, who had invited him to play in her residence and introduced him to the Paris aristocracy. Of the four, it is considered by many pianists to be the most difficult, technically and musically.
