Triplets against semiquavers

[Daren]

Hi,
I have been looking at the first few bars Of Chopin fantasie-Impromptu and im wondering how can you possibly count Quaver triplets in left hand and semiquavers in right hand when playing hands together?

Do I count the left hand and just guess the right hand I dont know can anybody answer me this one?

approaching the problem of playing triplets against semiquavers always depends on tempo.

for fantaisie-impromptu:best approach i can think of: learn hs until you can easily play hs the whole A-section from memory, in final tempo, then put ht.

well we've had this sort of discussion before https://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,1155.0.html
don't know where my original post went but whatever everyone quoted is what i said
bascially just start of HS, making a bit of an emphasis on the beat in each hand, so then when you put it HT, you know that the notes that are on the emphasised beat are going to be together, and then just play everything else together, just imagining that you're playing each hand by itself, so the two rhythms are even, and it just sort of works!

That's essentially what I did.  8 against 6 is pretty weird to work out slowly and mathematically, so when you finally put your hands together, the tempo is such that you should not have to think about the irregular rhythm.
