The four Ballads for piano, composed between 1835 and 1842 have a particular status in Chopin's production. As opposed to the 'small forms' inspired by dances, like waltzes or mazurkas, they give birth to vast developments of a new genre, almost revolutionary, bearing an epic breath characteristic of the emergence of the Romantic Age.
