number/piece association

[weissenberg2]

sometimes when I see a number I think of a piece (based on its catalogue number). E.G. 101, 106, 109, 110, 111= the Beethoven sonatas, 32= the Rachmaninoff prelude etc...

anyone have these?

Yeh, whenever i see 69, i always think of Thalberg's Trio.

Thal

Oh, definitely. 10, 25 --> Chopin Etudes, 64--> Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, any opus number of Beethoven's sonatas

You can turn numbers into consonants and form concrete words from them.  I did that for some listening tests in music classes and worked very well.  Kind of pain and some work to create, but reliable for getting lots of work numbers memorized.  It was a bit slow to remember the numbers though since you have to translate them from words, to consonants, and then figure out the number again.
