I just change the time marking, everything else I put in the quote-unquote is by him.

EXPOSITION
0:02 – Theme 1, F major, a siciliano/pastoral
2:06 – Theme 2, A min or
DEVELOPMENT/FALSE REPRISE
3:03 – Theme 1, F major. Looks like a reprise, but –
3:20 – veers off course, into harmonically complex modulatory territory. This section is where the heavy lifting that shifts the entire tonal centre of the work takes place.
5:11 – Theme 2 [In D minor, which is revealed to be a suspension that resolves to A minor. This section substitutes for a reprise proper.]
CODA/CLOSING SECTION – 5:53 [References to Themes 1/2]
"
You can see 3:20 is a big moment there.

Chopin is just completely out of this world, his ballads are so incredible his sound is so unique, divine
@asrlsog
Absolutely. His Scherzos too.

The most soothing and stimulating composer. Happy sigh.
@MrProass
Chopin and liszt are both nutcases pianist that writes one of the hardest to play and insanely good pieces

I don't get why when this Ballade was released, some critics said that it's one of Chopin's less ingenious compositions. I think it's sort of personal, but this Ballade is mad amazing. Maybe it doesn't sound as romantically beautiful as, let's say the 1st or the 4th Ballade, but the whole melody, vibe, and progression are just brilliantly composed, wonderful. The complexity is insane too, anyway. Perfect art creation.
@segmentsAndCurves
Schumann said that, right?
I think it wasn't without some truth cause this is less interesting. But again I think this is what Chopin intended. A boring lie (1st theme, which goes on through the piece) that cover a shocking truth (2nd theme, which builds the piece's climax).
@Andrea-hc4kz
@Tien Trien Nguyen yes, Schumann said that. I guess so, yeah i think i agree with your statements
@alexyedidia
Agreed. This ballade is out of this world stunning. Just like the rest of them
