Chopin: Nouvelle Etude 1 (advise please :-))

[monkeyyy]

Hey!
This is one of the pieces I'm practicing at this moment. Problem: I'm not sure anymore how to practice this etude....though I think it's still somewhat unrhythmical and maybe 'too busy'.. What do you think? Do you've tips to make it sound better? Or practice tips?
Thank you very much!!

The beginning is way too dry, and should be much more poetic, mysterious, and vocal.  It gets better, when the left hand comes in.

You don't sound like you have problems playing the piece.  Your dissatisfaction stems from a certain lack of attention to the artistic aspects of the music.  I think you will feel more comfortable, if you stop worrying about how to practice it, and start thinking about what the music means to you, specifically.

Good job!

Thank you very much for your insightful comments :-)
I indeed kind of forgot to pay attention to this, because I was so busy thinking about the rhythm and unwanted accents. Even though I like the more musical work much better . To go short, I'm going to do what you suggest
