If this piece isn't given years of constant attention and fine-tuning, it can be terribly flat. To make each note, each phrase, and each nuance speak is truly a work of incredible artistry. Furthermore, no emotion (and no material!) is repeated in exactly the same way. The emotions that come forth in that piece are like those of an entire life, and there is no way to convey those emotions other than to bring that piece with you through your life the music is alive and it needs to feel your ups and downs and everything in between. The ballade, on the other hand, is much more natural, rhapsodic music. There isn't a ton of material to work on in the b-flat minor scherzo, and even though it needs the utmost care to make it speak, there's still a somewhat limited range of emotions that needs to be conveyed. The scherzo is music of the highest calibur-there's fire, passion, and some beautiful melodies.and there's also repeats.


Nothing other than a personal preference and maybe something to do with form.
