Talk:Ballade No. 1 (Chopin)

Perhaps "scored" is a better term than "orchestrated" in the last line, seeing that this is a piano work.

Confusion?
"The ballade was famously played in the film The Pianist by Wladyslaw Szpilman (where it was cut to about 4 minutes from the usual 9-11 minutes it takes to play)."

You sure Szpilman played it in the film? 124.82.2.241 10:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Yessir. Actually he did.

Subjectivity
Please review the guidelines for classical music articles. The statements about returning themes and technical difficulty are not appropriate. For now, I will not delete them. Please find an appropriate source. --Birdman1 talk/contribs 13:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge 4 Ballades into one page
I've posted this on the talk pages of the other three ballades as well. Since information on the four ballades is scarce, at best, there is hardly enough to create one article for each. I think it might be better for them to be all consolidated into one article, which would be much more substantial.

 * I seem to be the first to respond to this. I've replied at Talk:Ballade No. 4 (Chopin), and it may be best to confine the discussion to that page, otherwise it will become unmanageable.  --  JackofOz (talk) 22:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
