Playing Chopin Waltz Op.34 N.2 Lento

[diedel]

Hi and sorry by my poor english,

I'm learning the Chopin's Waltz Op.34 N.2 in A minor and it's hard for me to control the volume and clearity of my left hand (the tipical rythm of the waltz). I have to work hard to maintain the low volume. I'm talking about the bars from 17 to 36. I have the same problem with another waltz of Chopin and I ask if there are a special fingering for these chords or anything to observe to play naturally this type of rythm.
I've read the Chang book about how to play relaxed the chords, I think I follow more or less the method . I notice some progress if I play only with my left hand but is very slow. The hard thing is to control the volume. 
Also, I play a little bit the pedal because without it, the piece sounds a little bit "staccato",  I dont understand why is not marked the pedal in this sheet, although it seems to be used in the cd auditions... (I'm ignorant, be easy with me )

Thanks for reading.

Regards.

That there's no pedal in the book doesn't mean you don't have to use the pedal at all. Be careful with your pedal though .

About the chords: maybe you can try to clap the rhytm and give an accent on the first note of a measure? Maybe you will the rhytm better.

Got it about the pedal.

But I want to control the volume with my left hand, maybe I need specific exercices, pieces,... to "master" chords with my left hand. Do you understand what I mean?

Thanks.

Maybe you can try to play the piece very slow, and only listen and concentrate on your left hand?

Yes, I will follow your advice. 

Thank you very much.

P.D. I think a need a teacher...
