Rach prelude op.32 n.12 in g#minor
measure [43]
how do you play the last part 
seems insane 
-I know what you're thinking... why the hell am I playing something soo easy. Well, not everyone's as good as you and we beginners, need expert help (this is a joke :/)-

You mean the arpeggiated chords in both hands?  You just practice them H.S. and fit them together so you hit the D# and the B at same time.  Honestly, I think I play the notes together until the last 3 notes in RH which I do along with 2 notes in LH, as a 3 against 2. 

The lead-in in the previous bars is very important, and hard!  Be sure to emphasize those rising chromatic bass notes, and in bar 43, emphasize the left hand B, then the C#, then the right hand D# must sound, even though in a decrescendo.  Continue the decresc. through the arpeggio and leave it "hanging" in the air for a second before going on to the "a tempo."

Good luck!

thanks for the reply I played it like that but I wasn't sure if it was right or not

As for the melodic line, even the book says that the b, c# and d# are very very important. Thanks for the tips
