Chopin's Prelude in E Minor Op. 28 No. 4

Have been practising this for two days. While playing this classic, I realise how "not together" my left fingers are. They are, should I say, uneven and difficult to control.

Hope to improve on my technique as I learn new pieces and drill my scales.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it again on my acoustic soon! :D I have problem with rubato, cos I don't know where it should start, and where it should end... :P Thanks for the explanations!

I read your post on Viva Piano, it is really good after only 2 days :-) you just need to add lots of rubato to make it brilliant! When you come to the end of the bars add plenty of rubato but control it with your L/H!! Imagine with the 8 semiquavers in the L/H that the first 5 6 or 7 you are walking over tarmac and the last 3 2 or 1 you are walking through a bog with wellies on, close your eyes and imagine it! Then vary it throughout the piece, and don't rush it one bit, good luck :-)
