A good memory assist which works very well is having places to "hang your hat." Be able to start the piece from many different spots, not just from beginning. That way should something happen you have a place to be rescued to. That's not what you want to happen but it gives comfort knowing that and makes the piece much more secure being able to start it from many points.

Most important practice - slow practice.
Going slow is ingraining the correct notes consistently (hands to brain and brain to hands).

If you take a chord in root position, for example the C Major Chord triad, it is made up of the 1st, 3rd and 5th intervals, so a C, E and G. If you play the 1st, 2ND and 5th intervals instead, suddenly you have a really beautiful sounding chord that you can use to add variety to your playing. This is called a Sus2 chord (Suspended 2nd) because you are suspending the 2nd interval into the chord, rather than the 3rd. You can then resolve the chord to the normal triad shape to create a nice... See More

The Floppotron is a musical instrument created by Polish engineer Paweł Zadrożniak.
It is made of a synchronized array of obsolete computer hardware programmed to play tunes. The current Floppotron 2.0 build sports 64 floppy drives, 8 hard drives, and a pair of flatbed scanners. The net effect is of a robot orchestra.
