Holograph at Library of Congress also dated 1895. This has been published: see WorldCat. Will try to borrow a copy somewhere if only to figure out the orchestration...

Has been recorded in the composer's arrangement for violin and piano (on a 1992 Koch International CD. There is a later ballade specifically for violin and piano, the C minor op.73.)
