I also have problems memorizing the pieces I play and frequently have lapses...especially when under pressure.
I have to hammer away at the piece and I try to start random measures just before and after the problem areas so that I have a better chance of not getting stuck.
Isn't it amazing that the better players here seem to learn difficult pieces so quickly! How in the world can they do that? I am constantly amazed that they have this ability.
