 Chopin Ballade observation

Note: This is not spam, or insults, or cursing, this is something about the 1st Ballade I just realized.
I have the Paderewski edition of the Chopin Ballades, and from measures 146- 148, all the first 3 beats of the measures. You notice in the left hand, there is the quarter note chord, eighth rest, an eighth octave then the quarter octave. But there is a slur that connects the first beat note to the eighth octave. So, I think that the quarter should be dotted, hence the slur, and that, to me, would make more sense.

Am I ready to play Chopin Ballade no. 1?

Hello,
This is currently my favorite piece. Actually, it has been my favorite piece for quite some time... However, I would like to hear your opinions on how difficult it really is.
I started playing piano when I was 18 (really, really late...) and now I am 22. The problem is that I started playing when I was just starting college (engineering), so I never had the time to practice for many hours every day. My teacher was always very nice and allowed me to play any pieces I wanted, according to my level, plus she gave me some Hanon and Czerny, which I always ignored, actually, and never really spent time practicing them.
Anyway, even though I never had the time to really practice piano as much as I wanted, my teacher always said I was progressing quite well. Here are the pieces I learned:
Moonlight Sonata, first mvt. - after 3 months of piano classes. Took me one month to learn this one.
Fur Elise - after 5 months. Took me 2 months to learn.
Funeral march (the one from Chopin's sonata) - after 7 months. took me 1 month to learn.
Chopin's nocturne no. 2 - 1 month to learn
nocturne no. 1 - 2 months to learn
nocturne no. 7 - 3 months
nocturne no. 20 - a little less than a month.
Polonaise op. 40 no. 2 - 4 and a half months.
Beethoven pathetique sonata, first movement - 6 and a half months.
I don't know if I am progressing in an adequate level, I think some pieces take me even longer to complete, because I have this obsession of not moving on to the next bar until I get the current bar in a correct tempo (usually Claudio Arrau's recordings are my reference).
As I progressed in college, unfortunately I started having less and less time to practice.
So given my background, do you think I would be able to play Chopin's Ballade no. 1? Which is the most difficult part in this piece? Maybe I should try learning this difficult part to see if I can manage this piece?
How difficult is it compared to the Polonaise Heroic, Scherzo no. 2 and the barcarolle?
Sorry for the long post!
Thank you very much!!

Chopin Ballade No 1 in G Minor

Hi
I am a researcher for BBC Radio 4 based in the UK. I am making a series of programmes about how particular pieces of music have affected people who play and listen to them. In particular, I am looking for people who have special stories to tell about their feelings for Chopin's Ballade No 1 in G Minor OP23. Maybe they heard it or played it at a very special time in their lives. And maybe they still have strong memories of this that they would be willing to tell me about.
If you have a particular connection to this piece of music and would be interested to speak to me please contact me on soulmusic@bbc.co.uk
Many thanks
Rachael Howorth

Hi, I'm playing the Chopin Ballade in G minor right now (in the midst of learning :p) and I just ordered the book of his 24 preludes... I've browsed through them at random before, just wanted to know if his 'tougher' ones, namely the Bb minor and such, are on par with the G minor ballade? I want to learn the really impressive, short preludes, but really dunno what they're on a level with...
