Capsule Summary
All four Rondos are taken from the Trzeciak CD on Pavane. For the Ballades at least three pianists were used. Anna Malikova plays the 1st Ballade. Eugen Indjic plays the 2nd, 4th, and most of the 3rd Ballade. The 3rd Ballade is an oddity in that more than one pianist is used. Bars 99-145 and the final four chords are not taken from the Indjic recording and have not been identified. The codas of the 1st and 4th Ballades have been sped up as has the Rondo Op. 16.
