Born on the occasion of the Chopin's Chopin Competition in 1949, on the occasion of Chopin's 100th anniversary, Laks' ballad captures the spirit of Chopin's melodious, harmonious and rhythmic thinking, without the impression of plagiarism. The form of the ballad comes to the idea of ??exploring the entire range between the most tender lyricism and eruptive drama that is so characteristic of Chopin's piano style. The technically sophisticated 8-minute piece is ideally suited for recitals reflecting the importance of Chopin's music as a symbol of the Polish nation in the 19th and 20th centuries.
