Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 is a work that I tend to describe loudly as amazing and sublime. It may not be my all-time favorite Chopin piece but it’s definitely up there. Not only does it sound beautiful, I think it’s an amazingly put together musical journey from the very beginning to the very end. The beginning is iconic and it only gets better from there. Interestingly enough that Ballade is one of the few classical music pieces I describe as a musical journey, but I think that description fits perfectly. You go through the piece, feeling many emotions throughout, but it’s beautiful from start to finish.
