“Talent is only the starting point.”
AUTHOR: Irving Berlin
"Talent means nothing without a good work ethic and a good attitude.”
COMPOSER
CHOPIN
BALLADE:
Chopin wrote four ballades composed between 1835 and 1842. These ballades are one-movement pieces for solo piano and are a novel innovation of Chopin's which cannot be placed into an established musical category for its time. The older definition of the term ballade (French for "ballad") refers to a one-movement musical piece with lyrical and dramatic narrative qualities.
