I invite you to a brand-new entertainment
In an absolutely brand new style. Simply fashioned, artlessly arranged. Adorned with noble German simplicity, As jaunty as a lad with his lover’s bouquet; And there is also a little pious humility for the audience. For me that’s enough of a recommendation; If you too like the sound of it, then come in.” Franz Schubert
Chopin’s Ballade in g minor Op.23, inserted half way through the cycle, was composed in 1835-36 and dedicated to Monsieur le Baron de Stockhausen, Hanoverian ambassador to France (a relation of Julius’?). This piece is cleverly placed here, as it too, was inspired by a poem – “Conrad Wallenrod”, written by the polish poet Adam Mickiewicz.
