AUG 14, 2012: Once you have all the sections of a piece worked up, you might try playing them in sequence and then connecting them as if you were performing it. The best way to do this, I think, is at home or a comfortable place. Some sections may defy your memory, so you'll need to go back and work on those places. Now you know where they are, so that makes them easier to focus on.
Once you get them technically ready to play, you can add everything: pedals, dynamics, nuances. And you'll keep getting new ideas about playing the piece the more you go over it. This is the final stage before actual performance.
The more you perform it from beginning to end, the more ready you are for an actual audience. You might even pretend that an audience is in the room while you are doing this. Otherwise, you will need to break it in with real audiences, and then things can be unpredictable. With enough repetitions, you should be able to get all the pattern of the music in your head. And then you can be able to perform it in front of a real audience with confidence.
