Talk:Ballade No. 2 (Chopin)

I have started this article. At the moment, little time is available - more will follow tomorrow or during the week. --Birdman1 05:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Video
Do you support having a link to the YouTube video? --Birdman1 03:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

See note on article. -- Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 04:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove the link to the video. As long as it is the only recording available, it must stay. Furthermore, this recording is as legitimate as any pure audio recording. The pianist portrayed is clearly Krystian Zimerman and the piece played is clearly the ballade. --Birdman1 talk/contribs 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Expand
This article needs expansion. I am sure there is a lot more to talk about. (its form, musical elements, etc). Any suggestions? -- Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 00:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been planning to add text about the piece itself. More information will be here soon! --Birdman1 talk/contribs 00:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed the expand template. It looks like a good stub now. Info is good enough to deserve the template removed. Rv if opposed. -- Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 22:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Michael Bednarek, I edited the structure section recently, and it has been reverted back to the original text. I'm confused as to why, I thought that the information I had written was accurate. Is there something I got wrong, and if so what is it? Also, can I have an explanation as to what "excessively POV/OR" means? John9086 (talk) 13:11, 13 April 2021 (UTC)John9086
 * Sorry for those shortcuts; they are explained at WP:POV and WP:OR. These Wikipedia policies require that articles are not written from personal experience and knowledge, but based on verifiable reliable sources. The phrase, "… but looking at the accidentals and analyzing the chords, you can see …" and subsequent assertions you made were the reason for the revert. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Description
Andy - the description can stay for now, but it needs serious revision. The guidelines (linked to above) should do all the explaining. Sorry - the writing is great, but, unfortunately, too subjective (e.g., "satisfying finale"). --Birdman1 talk/contribs 22:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I see you've done some good, progressive editing, but there's still work to do. I'll apply the quick - temporary - cure of adjective hunting. --Birdman1 talk/contribs 00:21, 15 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) 22:19, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Split
The four ballades were once again split on December 17, 2020 after discussion here. intforce (talk) 14:23, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
