I second Jeremy's suggestion of *listening* to the piece often. When I say
often, I mean like 5-10 times a day. Put it on at night when you go to
sleep. Drive your wife crazy. Get to the point where the piece is in your
head every day, and it you just naturally find yourself going through it in
your brain even when it's not playing.
That's what I do. This will help with memorizing, but it will also help
make the piece a part of you, and will make you play it much, much better.
(Then again, you better like the piece...)
