Product Description

This is not a simplified edition of the Ballade, but a reduction to make it more accessible for smaller hands -- hands that can reach an octave with no notes in between, and cannot play rapid octave passages. The difficulty -- and therefore the integrity -- of the piece is still there, but at least reachable for smaller hands. It is done well enough that in performance, that even the sophisticated listener will notice very little or no difference.
