When Chopin left with George Sand for his oft-cited winter sojourn on Mallorca in autumn 1838 he also took his second ballade with him which was not yet finished. Chopin's health and other unfavourable circumstances hadinterfered with his work on the composition; he only completed it in winter 1839. (Also published is a facsimile of the wonderful autograph; Cat. No. HN3212.) The printing process was also delayed - not least because of thecomposer's considerable financial demands. Following his emigration from Warsaw and his full acceptance into Parisian musical circles Chopin was apparently aware of the value of his music. Now presented in a single Urtextedition this work dedicated to Robert Schumann has been taken from the recently revised edition of the 'Ballades'.
