FACTS

• He is the "father" of rubato. Chopin refused to conform to a standard method of playing and believed that there was no set technique for playing well. His style was based extensively on his use of very independent finger technique.
• Rubato is the temporary disregarding of strict tempo to allow an expressive quickening or slackening, usually without altering the overall pace.

QUOTES

• "Everything is a matter of knowing good fingering ... we need no less to use the rest of the hand, the wrist, the forearm and the upper arm."He further stated: "One needs only to study a certain position of the hand in relation to the keys to obtain with ease the most beautiful quality of sound, to know how to play short notes and long notes, and [to attain] unlimited dexterity."
