  b. 1

No title nor dedication in A

Ballade à [...] Schumann in GC (→GE) & FE

"La Gracieuse" 2de Ballade, title in EE

As in many other works by Chopin, EE arbitrarily changed the authentic title of the Ballade, calling it "La Gracieuse". It also omitted the dedication. Cf Nocturne Op. 27 No. 1.
The lack of title and dedication in A is presumably the result of the title page not being preserved. When writing the title page of GC, Chopin misspelled Schumann's name – "Schuhmann".
