This works well, I suspect, for a lot of the textures we find in Chopin. I suspect that this philosophy or methodology of rubato is related to the large influence Italian opera had on Chopin, especially as concerns the melody.ut this is but one source of rubato and there are others, older and no less important. These other kinds of rubato, where the beat is actually moved forward or delayed according to the musical context, was also something Chopin may have practiced as well.
