 Chopin's Fourth Ballade Sheet Music
May 21, 2011, 04:55:18 AM by spencervirt

Hello!
This is my first time posting here. My name is Spencer, i'm a Junior in high school. Pleased to meet you all!
This summer I plan to begin work on Chopin's Fourth Ballade in F minor for use in college admissions (it is also my all time favorite piece of music).
Due to financial problems, I can't afford to buy myself many piano lessons this summer. I can probably manage two a month but that is still really hard on me.
I'm looking for a good single edition of the ballade that has good fingering. I'm reluctant to purchase what I normally do, the Henle Urtext, because i'm going to need a more complete fingering, especially for the coda. It wouldn't be a problem if I could ask my teacher on a regular basis, but I cant. Any suggestions?
It's kind of an odd proposition, but I would be willing to pay someone to finger it for me. Do you think I could find someone local who would do that? I'm not sure if my teacher would have the patience.
Thanks very much!

How to play the tuplets (septuplets etc) in 4th Ballad Chopin
December 24, 2010, 11:18:17 AM by confuter
|
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how I could practice playing the tuplets in the fourth ballade of Chopin starting from measure 152 (page 10 on the sheets from this website). Triplets are not the problem, but the septuplets, octuplets ? and those tuplets that consist of ten (honestly don't know the word for that) are. Is there a good way of learning to play those?
And is a sextuplet simply two triplets or should it be played differently?
And from the 158th measure the triplets suddenly don't have a '3' written below them anymore, are they still triplets? It appers so, but the 161th measure made me uncertain because there they have 1 triplet written with the '3' again, or is that just because the notes before those aren't a triplet?

Questions about some notes in Ballade 4 Chopin
December 23, 2010, 02:20:45 PM by confuter
|
It occurs to me that there are some errors in the fourth ballade of Chopin or maybe I'm just stupid, anyway I'd like to know why some notes are being canceled that were never flattened or sharpened. See for example (if you've got the sheets) the third line, fifth page, second meter. There are actually multiple canceled notes that do nothing. And the ballade is full of them, is this free for interpretation or just an error?
Another thing I don't understand is that there is a note at the 8th page, 2nd meter, that should be played by both hands. The same note! Why is that? There is only room for one finger!

Another Program to Puruse
December 15, 2010, 01:56:47 AM by pianistcellist

I am putting together a recital program and because I always enjoy the interesting, witty, and sometimes rather ridiculous comments from this board I thought it would be fun to submit it. Thanks for looking and for you ideas!
Scarlatti:
Sonata in F minor K. 386
Sonata in C minor K. 11
Sonata in F minor K. 387
Haydn:
Andante and Variations Hob. XVII/6
Liszt:
Transcendental Etude no. 9 Ricordanza
Chopin:
Ballade no. 4 in F minor
Prokofiev:
Sonata no. 7 in B-flat Major
I am looking forward to playing this program. I think it is interesting and fun. The only problem that I can see with it right now is the large amount of F minor. Ideas?

final recital next summer (program)
September 13, 2010, 11:10:43 PM by thorn

I was supposed to learn this over the holidays though I've been a bit bad at focusing on just a few pieces. So now I'm in a bit of a bad place with term starting in a couple of weeks and I was supposed to have the pieces learned, nowhere near perfect just able to play through them comfortably. So my first question is how would people suggest I go about reaching this level over a short period of time? I am able to practise for a riduculously long time per day but don't see the point in just sitting there messing with them all of the time so any tips?
Secondly, my teacher was really vague with what she asked for: a Classical sonata= fine, a modern piece= fine then she said something "beautiful", which is really vague and I've been having trouble deciding and sticking to this third requirement.
So far, my program is this:
Beethoven: Sonata op 57
Ligeti: Automne a Varsovie
For the 'beautiful' piece, I chose Chopin Ballade 4, but I recently realised that although I would easily be able to pull it off by next May, I probably won't get that high mark for it as it's a really difficult piece to please anyone with. So I've been looking at the Szymanowsky Metopes instead.
So, which Metope do people think would be the best to put in there? Or would it be wiser to stick with the Ballade or at least play it to my teacher and see if she agrees with my views on it or thinks it will be alright?
With the Metopes, I'm thinking Nausicaa would be the best contrast but it is in my view the most difficult of the three. Isle of the Sirens definitely fits "beautiful", but it's pretty similar to Ondine which I played last year. Calypso is the same kind of mood as the Beethoven and the Ligeti so I don't think it would be THAT much of a contrast.
Help?

 Chopin Ballade Nr. 4
October 03, 2008, 07:25:13 PM by alialvarez

Hey, this is my first post in this forums. This my latest recording of Chopin's 4th Ballade. It was made with a Sharp MD, so the quality is a little bit watery, so is not my excess of pedal (or maybe it is? ) Anyway, any comments are welcome. Be nice though

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
