What suggestions for peices.  I have had severe head trauma and memorization is difficult however my Teacher says my sight reading is advenced.  Completed Canon in D, several Bach Minuettes, Fur Elise, Jesu...more than respectably for playing such a short time.  Any suggestions on how to continue.  I am a tireless Bach fan and love Debussy.  Thanks for any help: sources for more theory, orderly study and expected success.
Thank you

I am also older and struggle with memorization, but pieces that I like musically are much easier to memorize than pieces that I find boring.

Can't help you with Bach or Debussy, but here are some pieces I have played that I think are worth learning but not that difficult:

Scarlatti: Sonata K32 or K40
Franck: Les plaintes d'une poupée (Dolly's Complaint)
Chopin: Waltz in A minor or one of the easier preludes

For technique you could also learn some easier sonatinas:
Clementi op. 36-1
Diabelli sonatina in F op. 168

To exercise your fingers and your brain I suggest Bach Two Part Inventions, they will help you to learn other pieces. Even if you were more advanced I'd still suggest these inventions. When you work on these you will find other works to come easier to you as you advance.

Some of Clemente's low to intermediate level works might be enjoyable to you.

Christmas is coming ( I tell everybody once July is gone watch for Christmas it's around the corner !), you might enjoy putting together a little seasonal repertoire this fall. I've started collecting music for mine. In my search I ran into David Nevues work ( modern arranger from Oregon) and have bought the sheet music to two or three of his versions of some Christmas songs to add in with what I have from some Dan Coates books I bought years ago. He also has other works that are quite lovely and yet fairly easy to learn. At his site you can catagorize his music by level of difficulty.

So glad that you are enjoying the piano playing... Here is my suggestions:
Bach - Little Preludes and Two part inventions, and of course, C major Prelude (the famous one from P & F).  I am not aware of Debussy's pieces which are the standard you stated, but I can recommend Satie - Gnossiennes and Gymnopadies.  Then, Ibert - The Giddy Girl & La cage de cristal. And a few pieces from L'Almanach aux Images by Grovlez are lovely and quite manageable, I think.  I love "La Sarabande" and "Petites Litanies de Jesus" in particular.

Keep playing!
