Thank you so much for introducing Chopin op.50. to us.
I really appreciate your teaching for 2 weeks.
I want to try Chopin Mazurka op 50 through recording.
On 0p.50, no.1 m.5, 10,18.., Chopin uses pedal with the right hand rest signs.
Usually it is not really working if we use pedal and rest signs together. I wonder if Chopin has any purpose for it or not.
I wonder if Chopin' s rubato has any rules ,restrictions or characteristics compare to other composers if there are any unique things. I means he has lots rubatos compare to other composers. I want to know how to decide specific areas which we should play with rubato or not in Chopin music. Ex. Any hint or guidelines. Some pianists played with too much emotions and others not. I wonder what's the better or ideal ways to play Chopin. Seems to me, he is very unique composer.
Please introduce your favorite pianists, videos, books to know better about Chopin or any general piano music and techniques.
Appreciate it.

Hello Jarred,
I am doing both Nocturnes op.27 c# and Db. I am on the latter right now. There are more details per bar than I noticed before, such as a staccatissimo dotted at the end of a lot of phrases(bar12-17) (I have the National Polish EDITION
ed: Jan Ekier. How do you do 5 vs 4 bar16?
Bar 32 the Leggierissimo broken chord span.. while this is a popular and sweet sounding piece , it is full of hazards even for an advance amateur to give it justice. I would very much like your input. Thank you. Priscilla.
