Stack of notes

This is from Chopin's Op. 48 Nr 1

How do I play these for notes with ny left hand? Seems impossible.

  • It's possible that you just had smaller hands than Chopin. Is this just a problem you have with your left hand? Can you span a major tenth with your right hand? – Michael Seifert Nov 20 '21 at 14:46

  • This reminds me of transcribed sheet music of Tom Brier's works, which consistently have tenths in the left hand precisely because Brier plays them in the original audio (and video). – Dekkadeci Nov 20 '21 at 15:02

    Also, this chord looks achievable if your right hand plays the top note and your left hand plays the others. – Dekkadeci Nov 20 '21 at 15:03
  • I can do it, but if you have smaller hands this is of course harder. But what if you simply take the Ab (or even the D) into the right hand? – Lazy Nov 20 '21 at 23:04
