Octuplet?

[charlie9]

Hi
I am learning to play Chopin valse op64 no2, can anyone help me with the piu lento section where I thnk the bar consists of an octuplet and I want to know how you group it with the bass.

Can you post the music for me? I'm looking at the piu lento section now on imslp there are triplets and stuff but they still fit in properly. I've played this piece before so I might be able to help.

Its the bar that consists of 8 quavers with a slur and the number eight in the right and a tied crotchet and two more in the left hand. (Hope this helps)

I asked the same question a year ago, and there different ways to approach this. In the beginning treated the last 6 notes as two set of triplets, but as became more comfortable with the piece i began messed around with it a little bit more. Technically, the melody isn't really supposed to "fit in", but rather just make it flow as if you're improvising. Chopin does this a lot, putting in notes that don't fit in leaving it up to your preference (at least imo). Though I've only been playing for 2 years so don't take me seriously lol...

Hope this helps.
