There is lot of mention on the rubato by his contemporaries. To me it seems all are beating about the bush- no one has been able to specify exactly how to achieve it. Even Liszt and Mikuli (Chopin's pupil) say the same thing i.e. firm bass etc.
I haven't come across Chopin's own take on the technique. Perhaps he may not have considered it a "technique", but rather an involuntary interpretation of his own music.
Wish there was recording of his playing.
