Chopin Ballades

Open Concert Program

Virtuoso pianist Roman Timofeev, based in Montréal, performs Frédéric Chopin’s four Ballades. The Ballades are single-movement pieces for solo piano, featuring both dramatic and dance-like elements. Composed between 1831 and 1842, Chopin pioneered the ballade as an abstract musical form.
