In this memory test (created for scienctific purpose)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/memory/
I got bad visual memory when not knowing what to look for,
better for spatial patterns
and super memory for (ordering of) numbers and words.
Most interesting though,
based on my answers about everyday situations:
"Your ability to remember events from the past is better than the ability to remember to do things that you had planned to do."
and
"You are better at remembering events and plans over long periods of time than remembering what you are doing moment to moment."
but
"You are equally good at remembering to do something whether you have an external que, such as a diary, or not."

Piano-based Pieces specially splendid in my life
WW
Piano has always meant something fundamental to me, mostly to listen to, a little bit to play. Here is a list of pieces where piano has played a great role in my picture. Each composer/performer can only have one piece represented. Even though it's impossible to count every piece in terms of how perfect impression they've made, I try to give them some kind of poetic order of personal importance.
