Handwritten notes of an extremely difficult piece by the creator – ballade number 4. Chopin’s last ballade. A mature artistic work from 1842!! With the use of this masterpiece such pianists as Olejniczak, Zimmerman, Blechacz and other Polish and foreign pianists won the Chopin Competition. The future WORLD AMBASSADORS OF FRYDERYK CHOPIN’S MUSIC will win!
This is a document of the final version of the piece! Rare documents on the antiquarian market in perfect condition for its age. No equivalent, because there were only (compared to other forms of music) four of Chopin’s ballades!
