The Fourth Ballade is Op. 52.  The Fourth Scherzo is Op. 54.

Sorry, just had to correct that.  ;)

Dont know why really, but I think mazurkas are boring, and he wrote a lot of them,  :-\
His concerts are not that good either, but he was wise when still a teenager, to stop composing for orchestra  ;)

Most of us are aware of Chopin's shortcomings when it came to orchestration. Most of us also couldn't care less. The two concerti that he wrote are an indispensable part of a professional pianist's repertoire. I'm glad you brought up this topic.

.......such a simple question, such a discussion about something 'subjective' wich cant really be discussed about :p ....... 

You could probably say that about 9/10ths of the topics on this forum. ::)
