Identical to the previous entry, this represents the same composition under the composer's full name. The work stands as an interesting transition piece in the French repertoire.
The main challenge is maintaining a cohesive atmospheric mood through disparate sections.
Ballade (Op.22) is rated Henle level 5 of 9 — late intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 6–7.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 5 — meaning you can already play level 4–5 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Ballade (Op.22) lasts about 6 minutes.
