Saul, I might be an even bigger Etude Disciple than Carl, but I want to address your question about memorising first, before I get to the Etudes.
Dear Amy
Like everybody, my condolences, and I don’t have the exact answers either, but would have made similar suggestions, and obviously wish you well with the recovery.
Fearghal, for what it’s worth to you, when I had to learn this the first time, I had to do it in 2 months.
Sid, if your harp is blue, and the orchestra management doesn’t want it, and there are other harpists around, then let them ask others who have harps of the colour that they want.
Sorry, the curse of this thread is that one seems to remember something else after you’ve pressed SEND.
Very fast
Etude No 6 by Bach/Grandjany in C Maj (middle of the book) – very easy and memory-lapse-proof
Etude No 1 by Lariviere (middle of Watkins book) – fast and busy, so that hands don’t have time to tremble
I find that harp scales are easier than piano scales in the middle range, because of the identical fingering patterns, but they are not so easy very low down, and very high up, because the whole body position changes, and the stretch around the harp is difficult in the low region.

Good luck with your books, and congrats on your good reviews.
Sorry to be an idiot, but what is a quinceañeras?
