Ballade (Dvořák)

The Ballade in D minor, Op. 15 (B. 139), is a ballade for violin and piano, composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1884.[1] As with the third piano trio, the Scherzo capriccioso, the Hussite Overture, and the seventh symphony, composed in the same period, the work is written in a more dramatic, dark and aggressive style that supersedes the carefree folk style of Dvořák's "Slavonic period".[2]

The Ballade is one of three short pieces that Dvořák provided to John W. Coates, publisher of the journal Magazine of Music.[3]

A typical performance lasts 6 minutes.[3]
