Eric Weigel - Rachmaninoff: Études-Tableaux, Op. 33, nos. 2 & 3

This is the fourth and last of the Ballades by Frédéric Chopin. Each is a one-movement piece for solo piano. The term "ballade" derives from a form of poetry which tells a dramatic and noble story. The musical ballade is an innovation of Chopin, and it influenced later composers, such as Liszt and Brahms, who wrote ballades of their own.

The structure of a ballade is a variant of sonata form. Two themes are introduced and then developed. Characteristic of the ballade is that near the end, when the themes are restated, they are presented in reverse order from the introduction. In this fourth of Chopin’s Ballades, the two themes are at times intertwined and developed simultaneously, producing a complex counterpoint unique to this ballade. For most of its duration, the fourth Ballade remains melancholic and profound.

This recording is from a public performance presented by me in Glasgow in June of 2009.
