Chopin's Four Ballades were said by Schumann to have been ' inspired by the poems of Mickiewicz'-the nineteenth-century Polish Nationalist poet; and his statement gave rise to an unfounded belief that each BalLde was based on a particular poem.
It seems clear, however, that the poetry of Mickiewicz stimulated Chopin, in exile after the capture of Warsaw by the Russians in 1831, to create a new musical form expressing the same kind of narrative atmosphere and nationalist emotion as the poetical ballads of his literary compatriot.
