What is your story of Chopin Op. 9 N1?

[laurent1234]

Hello,

First let me say that I am trying to get back to piano after a 16 years pause. I have read what people here write about methods to understand pieces faster. Posts from Bernhard and Chang's online book encouraged me to try the methods they advocate.

I want to be able to see through the Chopin Op.9 #1, and need your help:)
If I understand correctly people memorize pieces better when they use associations, and once they have enough association to write something that looks like a story then the piece is easier to practice and harder to forget.

What is your story of the piece I mentioned above? I found it hard to see how the key would help me understand the chords that are used in the piece, but maybe I have too little understanding of horminzation techniques and your feedback would be appreciated.

>>> I hope somebody will share his story,
kind regards
laurent
