RE: Remembering a Composition

Is the brain like a hard drive? Is there only so much space on it, that some things have to give when new ones are added?
I'm learning the keyboard and my problem is, that I work out a song and being quite happy with it, then I find another, that I like and would match my skill level, and, oops, the one I've worked out so nicely, is moving into the background and in danger of having to be relearned from the top.
Too much jumping around for me.. :D

But if the brain is not like a hard drive, then those songs are always there in the back of your head and only take a little persistence to get them going again. It all adds up to get better at it in any way.

Beautiful playing, as always!
Thank you!

Hmm, very interesting point of view. Is our brain like a hard drive, does it have limited space, do we have to remove some of the files to have space for other ones? In my opinion, I dont see it like that limited space. We can just improve it through reading, playing, interaction with others, having exercise, being happy :) But we do forget some things haha, we store them...

Your case, learning different pieces on the keyboard. You are forgetting them as the previous one was still not well "absorbed" by you, you have to master it somehow and then let it a bit of time to mature. Sometimes, it just happens that it goes better after a small pause :) Self-discipline also helps but I am sure, I would do the same if I would be learning another instrument, not the piano. I would probably also like to jump from one to other piece :D

Yes, this is maybe the same as how do I think about this subject :))
