The Ballade in D minor, Op. 15 (B. 139), is a ballade for violin and piano, composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1884. As with the third piano trio, the Scherzo capriccioso, the Hussite Overture, and the seventh symphony, composed in the same period, the work is written in a more dramatic, dark and aggressive style that supersedes the carefree folk style of Dvořák's "Slavonic period".
A typical performance lasts 6 minutes.
