The Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 is the fourth of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin's ballades for solo piano. It was composed in 1842 in Paris, France and Nohant, France and revised in 1843. This work was dedicated to the wife of Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild , who had invited Chopin to play in her Parisian estate and introduced him to the aristocracy and nobility.
This ballade is considered by many to be the most musically intense and technically demanding of Chopin's compositions and requires exceptional pianistic skills and virtuosity in order to be performed at an appropriate level of quality.
