I have a newbie question: I have a two-part document and I would like to use a different Chapter styling for each one; I've looked up in this database and "googled" it, to no avail.
Any idea?
Thank you!

From the memoir manual:
As well as the emulated packages memoir provides functions equivalent to those in the following packages, although the class does not prevent you from using them:
fancyhdr,framed,geometry,sidecap,subfigure, andtitlesec.
So is there evidence that memoir and titlesec don't "play nice"? Yes. Although the following example appears to work, some things do get broken. In particular, memoir allows for two optional arguments in a sectioning command (one for the header and one for the TOC) but this will be lost with titlesec. See the following question for detailed discussion:
\documentclass[oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage[small,sf,compact]{titlesec}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{}
\section{A section}
\subsection{A subsection}
\lipsum
\end{document}
As switching between twocolumn and onecolumn causes a page break, one may use the multicol package and its multicols environment instead. (The environment's optional argument is used for introductory one-column material.) In the following example, I use the twocolumn class option to achieve smaller margins, then temporarily switch two \onecolumn at the start of the document. Page breaks before chapters are removed by disabling \clearpage inside a group.
Note: The vertical space before chapter 1 (typeset with multicols) is actually larger than the space before chapter 3 (typeset with \twocolumn). The larger space is caused by LaTeX bug 3126 (\twocolumn interfering with \topskip); for consistent spacing, use multicols environments for every chapter of your document. EDIT: Even better, use Frank Mittelbachs answer to Is it possible to define a `multicols{2}` preamble switch that works for \chapter?
\documentclass[twocolumn]{book}
\usepackage{multicol}
\setlength{\columnsep}{20pt}
\newcommand*{\sometext}{Hello, here is some text without a meaning. This
text should show, how a printed text will look like at this place.
If you read this text, you will get no information.}
\begin{document}
\onecolumn
\begingroup
\let\clearpage\relax
\begin{multicols}{2}[%
\chapter{First (and some text to fill the line)}%
]
\sometext
\end{multicols}
\begin{multicols}{2}[%
\chapter{Second (and some text to fill the line)}%
]
\sometext
\end{multicols}
\endgroup
\twocolumn
\chapter{Third (and some text to fill the line)}
\sometext
\chapter{Fourth (and some text to fill the line)}
\sometext
\end{document}

Does this help you? The particular chapter styles chosen are random and lousy. If you want to change section, subsection, part styles you would likewise redefine them.
