A physical copy might be intimidating. The PDF of the 1995 Revised Edition contains a crucial appendix often overlooked: "Playing from Memory" and "Audition Preparation." Sándor argues that memory slips happen because you rely on tactile (finger) memory rather than visual and aural memory.
He suggests a brutal exercise: Air playing. Close the piano. Pretend to play the piece on your knees. If you freeze, you don’t know the piece. The PDF is perfect for this—you can read the chapter while sitting away from the piano.
