Help with rhythm

[xpjamiexd]

Ok so I need someone to explain the ruls regarding tuplets. For example I wanted to have a try with the Fantasie Impromptu but I have no idea how to time the 6 quavers against the 4 semi quavers...could omeone please explain how timing different rhythms against each other works please? (:

The trick with these rhythms is to focus on notes of the left and right hand that should be played on the same moment.
For example in Fantasie Imp. its the first note of every set of 4 16th (right hand), with the first note of every set of triplets in the left hand. So the Fx of the right hand comes on the same moment of the E (first note of second triplet) of the left hand.

To get those notes in between right, is pretty much matter of playing those rthythms together alot, and focussing on getting them fluently towards the notes that have the same timing.

good luck,

I'd argue that the real trick is being able to hear cross rhythms in your head. Start with two against three and progress to stuff like 5 against 6, just imagining it. Then get round to playing it.
