   The thing about Chopin is that it isn’t Elliot Carter: none of those are meant to be mathematically precise. On the contrary, those are organic rhythms that should follow phrasing and the flow of the hand, in a way that floats outside numerically precise rational fractions of the pulse. In other words, pay attention to where the free floating right hand does and does not line up with the steadier left hand, and then just feel it!
