Frederic Chopin: Ballad In F Major Op.38

When Chopin left with George Sand for his oft-cited winter sojourn on Mallorca in autumn 1838, he also took his second ballade with him, which was not yet finished. Chopin's health and other unfavourable circumstances had interfered with his work on the composition; he only completed it in winter 1839. The printing process was also delayed - not least because of the composer's considerable financial demands. Following his emigration from Warsaw and his full acceptance into Parisian musical circles, Chopin was apparently aware of the value of his music.
