When I practice Chopin, this chart is always in my thoughts.
I detected Chopin got inspired from Schubert’s A♭ Major Impromputu D.899 Op.90 No.4.
It‘s reflected into his 2nd Ballade Op.38.
Then Chopin called my name!
Bibliotheque nationale de France will have lecture of his 2nd Ballade based on Chopin’s autograph manuscript.
Looking into the composer’s manuscripts reveal the deepest and most insightful secets of their creativiy and their heart.
He editied this Ballade and altered very first measure.
Now it starts on the beat 3 of 6/8, quite significant change.
Here is the list of his manuscripts Bibliotheque Nationale de France hold.
