The aspiration of this piece is to reflect humorous and theatrical parodies of Frédéric Chopin’s famous Ballade no. 1 in five individual sections. There is a circulating improvisational character in the piece. This character originates from elements of humour and the concept of joke. All humorous elements are accumulated with new ones, just like in a series of jokes that develop when two people are joking with each other and building up the pure idea of joke. This idea is represented within each unique sections of the piece separately.
The piece is neither a recomposition, nor a deconstruction. Just like in hip-hop culture, cutting some bits of a previously composed music, repositioning and filtering various passages, this piece quotates four different themes of Frédéric Chopin’s G minor Ballade and constructs a new piece with them, defamiliarizing the source and generating new meanings.
