Ballade No. 2 in F Major, Op. 38, by Frédéric Chopin. Performed by Vincent Ip on March 9, 2011, in Jed Leshowitz Recital Hall, Montclair State University. Recorded and edited by Rodney Leinberger.
The Ballade begins in F major and ends in a different key of A minor. Most often people call it Ballade in F major, some musicians call it Ballade in F/A , and some musicians call it Ballade in A minor. (This description is a combination of input from Professor Mark Pakman and Professor David Witten of Montclair State University.) Professor Witten says, "I, and pianist Murray Perahia, and the Breitkopf & Haertel editor Johannes Brahms, have been the only three people in history to publicly (and in print) call this piece 'Ballade in A Minor,' but the three of us will suffer the ignominy of being corrected by the mass media. The search engine issue is why we will agree to this."
