Swiss composer Frank Martin composed six ballades for different solo instruments--saxophone,
flute, trombone, piano, cello, and viola--and orchestra. Each ballade is a one-movement work in
several sections. Martin's goal is to capture the most characteristic features
of the solo instrument. The flute Ballade
is recognized as one of the finest compositions for wind instrument and
orchestra. K. DeJongh
