I've always loved Chopin's 1st ballade even though some might say it's over played. but I think it deserves to be revisited all the time because it really has everything you could ask for (magical melodies, emotional climaxes, virtuous challenges..etc)

En ja, dit is ek wat speel, hoop jy hou daarvan😁
