How in the world do I play this chord?

bar 2's second meassure second chord. CDF#D. Who of you with broken ligaments can play this? What the hell. I know I don't have gigantic hands, but who the hell can reach that?

The picture is very unclear and I fail to see the sharps or flats. Is it possible to take the C+D with the thumb?

Here's the picture: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~craig/keyscape/chopin-op28no20/prelude20.gif

Anyways, THANK YOU#@!@!#@@!#!!!!!

But of course, use the thumb! I've already used it once in the prelude, why not again!

Thank you again, God bless you! :)

Play C-D with the thumb.  Do you see the fingering 1 with a bracket [, that means the suggested fingering is to play both notes with the thumb. 

Similar to Bar 2, beat 3, play Db-Eb with the thumb.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
