Chopin Ballade no. 1 coda
Hello,
I'm wondering how feasible the Ballade no. 1 coda is for someone who has small hands (can only comfortably reach an octave (cannot stretch to a ninth))? I cannot find any videos of someone playing the piece with small hands; even the children that play it seem to have large hands T_T
If anyone could provide their opinions/any videos for reference that'd be great thanks :)

Prelude Op 28 No. 18 in F Minor
I genuinely cannot get this little run to work at all. So this is bar 12 of Chopin's Prelude in F Minor and this run is so difficult for me. For anyone who has practiced this prelude, do you have any tips on the fingering you would use. I have found a semi-competent fingering myself but every time I get to this measure I either have to slow down a bit or I just mess up and hit a few wrong notes. This is 17 notes in 1 BEAT BTW, obviously you can "rubato" it a bit though. Let me know thanks :).
