Angela Hewitt on memory

Thank you Phil for sharing this. The image of the beetle crawling up her arm during the performance of Bach fugue will be a lasting one...

Thanks for the link  - interesting topic

Thanks for sharing! It’s interesting to hear how hard she works on her memory!

Thank you Phil,  I have followed the link and will read it later - working at the moment.  My first thoughts are, "Is there a vegetarian option?"

Thank you so much for sharing this. It sure is comforting to read stories about the some of the world’s greatest pianists having a memory mishap. I will save this article and share it with my students as well! 

Thanks for sharing.  Great article!  I had never heard perfect pitch being linked to memory.  Angela says her perfect pitch, like her memory is waning.  I am a year older than her and have noticed my perfect pitch is not as perfect as it once was.  I was told this was due to a change in ear wax as we age.  Does anyone else have perfect pitch that has changed as they aged?  My memory seems to be as good or better than ever (so far).

Thank you so much for sharing this Phil. Very interesting indeed!

Thank you Phil, very interesting article!

Thank you, Phil. Wonderful article with lots of things to think about and incorporate. It is even encouraging to someone like me who's memorized very little at and off the keyboard throughout lie and is now focusing on it. Right now, I am correlating my memory of how I know it sounds (through singing) to where the tones probably are on the keyboard to help find the notes, as well as a number of other things (for discussion at a more appropriate time). But it is a great article and I appreciate that you shared it with us.
