Can't help it but that is how it felt. Your tone wasn't exactly elegant if I may say so.Oh, OK. But how did you decide then that your fingering will actually work a tempo, the more so for others?
I can play it a tempo but the insecurities in my Dim7 knowledge causes glitches. The technique's a breeze - I could pass it on to muscle memory but wouldn't gain anything like as much.

, Chopin was obsessed not as much with the strength of the fourth finger, as he was with the index finger as a pivot point to gain simplicity of execution,
'All I have left is a big nose and an underdeveloped fourth finger' - Chopin . You want to show me where, perhaps in his Method?, he mentions index fingers?
Perhaps, but I must say that my patience with you is gradually wearing out:
Well bully for you! Your patronizing attitude doesn't exactly endear you either.
'everything is a matter of good fingering. Hummel was the most knowledgeable on this subject.' also from The Method. Quite what's 'pivotal' about 1-3; 1-3; is quite beyond me anyhow.
P.S.: Your "fourth finger" quote is evidence that Chopin thought that it COULDN'T be changed with any practice at all, just like the form of his nose. It's a very sarcastic remark, aimed at proponents of the "traditional" schools of his time with their crazy mechanical exercises to make that finger stronger.
NO! He's dying! Read the letter.
How long are you going to play this "everybody is stupid but me" game, Hardy?
