Practicing your own pieces

So this week (and last) I have been working on pieces to perform when I start my shows in March/April. I must confess I completely had forgotten how to play "Decaying Events". I really should write some of my music down. I always do when it's for other musicians to perform but rarely my own piano (and or vocal) pieces. I think I have about 80% of it back but portions of it I haven't repeatedly listened to it to get it exact. (it was 2 years when I recorded it)

I was composing a small sonata this evening that was so complex I had trouble playing it. Sometimes when I compose I hear the music very clearly in my head and it's running so quickly that my fingers can't keep up. So I have to usually repeat over and over till my brain and my fingers sync up.
