Chopin Rolled Chords

Post by UKPiano1 »

In measure 8 of Chopin Etude Op. 10 No. 5, there is a rolled chord in the left hand and a single note in the right hand. What is the order of the notes combined?

--top/highest left-hand chord note together with right?
--bottom/lowest left-hand chord note together with right?

In measure 22 of Prelude Op. 28 No. 2, there is a right-hand chord roll and an octave in the left hand. How is this played?

--top/highest right-hand chord note together with left-hand octave?
--bottom/lowest right-hand chord note together with left-hand octave?

In measure 8 of Prelude Op. 28 No. 3, there is a right hand chord roll, and a single left-hand note.
Same questions.

In measure 71, Prelude in C# minor, Opus 45 there is a right-hand chord roll with a grace note before it, representing the lowest chord note. There is a tied note in the left-hand. How is this played?

Thanks.
