In 1836 Chopin introduced the term ?¶ballad?÷ into piano music with the publication of his Ballad Op.23, although up to then it had only been used in literature and in vocal music. Indeed, all four of Chopin s ballads have the character of a dramatic story: the musical thread is spun with increasing tension throughout the work, reaching a powerful climax at the end. Henle have now thoroughly re-evaluated this edition and revised it to include the latest scholarly findings. Edited by Norbert Mullemann with fingerings by Hans-Martin Theopold.
