Abstract:Chopin,the Polish pianist and composer,is a typical romantic musician. With the deeper understanding of romantic literature and music,Chopin decided to adopt an entirely new genre to combine the two. As a direct result,he composed his 4 piano ballads and became the first composer writing ballads for pianos. In his composition of ballads,Chopin changed the traditional sonata style creatively to adapt to his favorite combination of lyricism,dramaticism and narrative. In terms of the result,he succeeded.
