[10e] This composer’s four ballades inspired by Adam Mickiewicz’s (“ah-DOM meets-kʼYEV-itchʼs”) poetry are perhaps the most famous in the genre. This Polish composer’s other piano works include the “Black Key” and“Revolutionary” etudes.
ANSWER: Frederic Chopin
[10h] This composer wrote a set of four ballades inspired by Chopin as his Opus 10. This composer also included a“Ballade” movement in his Six Pieces for Piano, Opus 118, whose second entry is a famous “Intermezzo.”
ANSWER: Johannes Brahms
[10m] Chopin’s four ballades all employ a time signature described as this type of meter, since they are in 6/4 (“six four time”) or 6/8 (“six eight time”). Meters described by this adjective subdivide each beat into three notes, rather than two as in simple meter.
