The Four Ballades / Sonata no. 2 in B-flat minor
Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Emanuel Ax
The Four Ballades and the Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor are solo piano works by Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, composed in the 1830s and early 1840s. They exemplify Chopin's mature Romantic language — combining lyrical melodic writing, intricate piano textures, dramatic contrasts and inventive harmonic approaches — and occupy an important place in his solo piano output and the broader 19th-century piano repertoire.
First released: 1985
