Sarah:

What is the Chopin piece? I may have a copy and could "see" what you want.

lol. My hands are not that big.  I wish I could play that big cord with one
hand, but the octave a's will be probably be best played wit the  left hand
on the and of 3, then the higher octave a's be played with the  rest of the
cord  on 1, but I don't' want the pianist to be restricted with rhythm
especially since I might be playing this, I hope not. 

I'm trying to pull a chopin where he has these big cords but the bottom note
is played first like in the middle section of rain drops.

but hopefully I'm being clear on this. My instrument is not piano, it's
voice. lol! 

Be blessed. I sent the reply as well to the list in case someone else has
any other ideas.

Take care.
