碩士 === 台南女子技術學院 === 音樂研究所 === 93 === Frédéric Chopin is one of the composers who devoted himself to the piano music the most in the nineteenth century. His four ballades for piano was written in his growing abundantly period (age 21 to 32) and it is also Chopin’s mature period (1835-1842). From these four ballads, we can experience the details of Chopin’s music and the complicated technique of piano performance. The lyrical singing melody can express the inner feeling of music. Chopin’s special music techniques and idioms are beautifully applied to the piano instrument. It makes his piano compositions in esteemed standing in the nineteeth century. In this thesis, my focus will be on Chopin’s Ballade No.4. I’m going to describe his musical background and musical styles as well as the analyses of harmony, sections, phrase and melody; so that the structure of this ballade will be more clear. Finally, I’ll provide my own opinion about the teaching and performing interpretation on this ballade. Keywords: Chopin, Ballade.
