Lovely toccata, Hilda! Question: Do you memorize as you go along, or do you nail everything down and then start to memorize?

Re: What is a Fugue?
I'd love some assistance on how to best memorize a fugue. I've worked on many in the past, and rarely can play them from memory after a break.

Re: Concert / online program recommendations
I'm not in NYC much these days, but I sent my mom and her friends some tix to hear Jeremy Siskind at Carnegie last night and they loved hearing him! Maybe he's still in town?
