Chopin's Polish Ballade Op. 38 as Narrative of National Martyrdom
Bellman, Jonathan (Professor and Head of Academic Studies in Music, Professor and Head of Academic Studies in Music, The University of Northern Colorado)
Chopin's Polish Ballade examines the Second Ballade, Op. 38, and how that work gave voice to the Polish cultural preoccupations of the 1830s, using musical conventions from French opera and amateur piano music. This approach provides answers to several persistent questions about the work's form, programmatic content, and poetic inspiration.
