The four "Ballades" for piano op. 10 are Brahms' contribution to the instrumental ballad form popular in the mid-19th century. Brahms used the more intimate vocal form as a model for the works composed in 1854 under the impression of the "twilight hours" spent with Clara Schumann. Schumann was enthusiastic about the new pieces which, as Brahms modestly explained, are "not very difficult, even less difficult to understand".
The "Ballades" op. 10 continue the series of Brahms's piano works in the Urtext published by Bärenreiter with another important contribution to the repertoire which should not be missed in advanced piano lessons. Fingerings by Brahms' renowned pianist Christian Köhn, a generous score and practical turning points fulfill the requirements of a practical edition, which is supplemented by a detailed preface with information on performance practice, genesis, sources and significance of the works.

The editor
Christian Köhn teaches at the Detmold University of Music. One of his artistic focuses is on the piano works of Johannes Brahms. Together with his duo partner Silke-Thora Matthies, he won prizes at the ARD Music Competition in Munich and recorded the world's first complete recording of all of Johannes Brahms' works for piano duo. In addition to the Serenades op. 11 and 16 for piano four hands (BA 6570/BA 6571), he has also published numerous works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms for Bärenreiter.
