Piano Tutorial: Chopin Ballade No. 1

This tutorial features my hand noted practice scores which can be downloaded free. The ballade is a very difficult work to play, and it seems that the better you get at piano, the harder it gets. That said, you might find it helpful to put all of that out of mind so you won’t feel intimated and be discouraged.
