Pre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In StockLiszt wrote his two Ballades in 1845 49 and 1853 during a time of personal turmoil. The successful virtuoso increasingly saw himself as a composer who strove after formal clarity as shown by the Bminor sonata that was also composed in 1853. When Liszt began work on the first Ballade he had just separated from his mistress of many years Marie Comtesse d’Agoult. He called the first sketches for the work DernièresIllusions. A better-known work is the second Ballade in B minor with whose ending he struggled (the two fortissimo endings in Liszt’s autograph have been published for the first time in the appendix to ouredition).
