Chopin Prelude #1, Rhythm

[shingo]

Hey,

     This may have been more appropriate in the music theory sub-board but I would like an answer ASAP and thus figurered it was likely to get more exposure here.

     I have just started to take a look at this piece but I am instantly confused with how to work out the rhythm and I won't have a lesson for a week. This is probably a good indicator that I may not be ready for the piece yet which I will accept but I was wondering if I could have some help working it out so I can learn for next time?

     Edit:

      It turns out that I had laboured the process greatly due to tyring to make it more compex than it really was. I know get the rhythm which was what I thought it was initially before confusing myself by over thinking it.

     A good way to work something out if you need to hear it and don't have a teacher at hand is to get a demo copy of Sibelius or some other notation software and then get it to play it back at slow tempo. This will allow you to hear what it is meant to be like and then work out where you went wrong etc and learn for the next time.
