This 85 -minute video lesson (divided into two parts - both video files will be sent to you upon completing checkout) explores an in-depth look at the Ballade No.4 in F minor, Op.52 by Frédéric Chopin. A large part of this video focuses on overcoming technical difficulties presented in this ballade, including effectively executing complex counterpoint, parallel sixths, jumps, rapid chords and arpeggios, thirds, polyrhythms, and much more. There is also a considerable amount of time dedicated to musical concepts and interpretation, including balance between the melody and accompaniment, melodic shaping, long lines, voicing, artistic approach, structure, foreshadowing of key areas, and various technique exercises to help you become as efficient as possible in your practice sessions.
