Fantasie Impromptu op. 66

[threepwood]

Hello Everyone

I just began learning Chopins Fantasie Impromptu op. 66, today. This is of course a big project.
Playing each hand alone goes easy, but I can already now see that I have a problem with putting it together. I can't read out of the sheet music if I'm suppose to play a note on the right hand at the same time with the left, or if they are a little staggered. You know what I mean?
Naturally I wan't it to sound perfect, so can anyone tell me if it makes much difference in the big picture?
Any comments or experienced thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

Hi, I am glad that you decide to play it.

I know the piece by heart, however, I still have to deal with the speed.

First of all, don't care of the speed, you are doing right to play it with separate hands. Then try with both at the same time, but don't increase the speed.  Believe me, when I increase the speed, my ideas start to mix up. 

Don't think in sound as it should, try it slowly and forget as how it should sound. In my case, when I want myself to compare with the ones who have a 95% of progress (no one is perfect), my progress becomes to a staleness.

An advantage of Frederic is that there are parts or sections that are repeated again (only with some little changes).  So practice this part because it is going to be repeated almost at the end.
