Hello!

I'm thinking about trying to master the first ballade of chopin.

My current reportoire consists of the following pieces:

Rach Prelude op. 23-5, op. 3-2
Chopin Etude 1, 12, Fantasie Impromptu
Debussy Suite Bergamasque
Brahms 6 pieces op. 118 (not finished with all)

Would it be to hard at this moment?

I would agree with Kitty on the keys. The 3rd ballade epitomizes the form. A great introduction to the romantic repertoire. On the other hand, if you've got that bee in your bonnet, go for it!
