Chopin's rubato possessed an unshakeable emotional logic. It always justified itself by a strengthening or weakening melodic line, by exaggeration or affectation.
I'm learning to improvise on the works of F. Chopin. I analyze the voices and create a Real Book-style version, which I then use as a basis for improvisation. When I play through the changes, Chopin becomes my teacher. I?ve also learned a complete waltz, keeping the original melody. This isn?t a verbatim transcription ? the voices were disassembled and rearranged to where, in my opinion, they sound best on the guitar. This way, the result feels closer to the original spirit of the piece. I learned how to create this kind of transcription from Andy Timmons during a joint workshop at the Paul Gilbert Great Guitar Escape.
