Frederic Francois Chopin was the first composer to write a Ballade as an instrumental musical work. From 1831 to 1843 he wrote a total of four Ballades. This study primarily discusses Chopin's use of contrast in the Ballade in G minor, opus 23 and in the Ballade in F minor, opus 52. First, it discusses the background of Chopin's life and his composition of the Ballades. Second, it reviews the origin and development of those genres of poetry and music called "ballad" or "ballade" that relate to Chopin's Ballades. Finally, it focuses on the ways that Chopin utilizes contrast in the G minor Ballade and the F minor Ballade, on whether or not the contrasts appear differently in different musical forms, and on allowing the performer to understand the unique kinds of writing in the Ballades. It is hoped that the performer who plays the Ballades, in addition to having the required technical ability, is also able to understand in more depth the content of these Ballades and the ideas they are meant to express.
