The successful virtuoso increasingly saw himself as a composer who strove after formal clarity, as shown by the in B Minor sonata that was also composed in 1853. When Liszt began work on the first Ballade, he had just separated from his mistress of many years, Marie Comtesse d'Agoult. He called the first sketches for the work Dernières Illusions. A better-known work is the second Ballade in B Minor, with whose ending he struggled (the two fortissimo endings in Liszt's autograph have been published for the first time in the appendix to this edition).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/liszt-ballad-no-1-in-d-flat-major-le-chant-du-croise-s-170-lw-a117\"\u003eBallad No. 1 in D-flat Major (Le chant du croisé), S. 170, LW A117\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/liszt-ballade-no-2-in-b-minor-s-171-lw-a181\"\u003eBallade No. 2 in B Minor, S. 171, LW A181\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.

Composed together with the Sonata in B Minor and in the same key, to the discerning listener this work reveals the influence of Schubert and Chopin. Intriguingly, the work seems to have progressed along the same path as the composer himself: Initially, it concluded with a sensational and thunderous finale, while the definitive version ends with quiet lyricism. This duality can easily be studied in this edition, which includes both versions.
