This is a recording of myself performing my fourth Ballade in F minor from several years ago. I have always been greatly inspired as a pianist and composer by Chopin's Ballades and of the four I've written this is my best. A single theme dominates the entire work and is put through many forms and rhythms, heard first as a solemn nocturne type theme then expanded aggressively before being interrupted by a second related theme before returning as a march only to be expanded again as before to finish. Hope you enjoy it! 

Ballade in F minor Op. 58 No. 4

Auckland-based composer, arranger, pianist and more. A smattering of my more personal works are here for your enjoyment. Soundtracks for my more theatrical/commercial work are available on Bandcamp under the same moniker!
