A good recital program?

[Nightscape]

This is my program for my senior recital (not finalized, of course):

Chopin - Nocturne in c minor, op.48 no.1
Debussy - Forgotten Images
Beethoven - Sonata op. 54
-inter.-
Ravel - Miroirs
Liszt - Mephisto Waltz no.1

Good or no?  Miroirs kills me.  I love it to death though, but its taken me years to get it ready.

I like it, but I wouldn't open a concert with a Chopin nocturne.

Haha you play Beethoven Op.54?  Such a funny little piece.

It's an unusual program which I happen to like.  Don't be afraid to experiment with program building.  I like that Beethoven sonata.  It's a shame that it isn't played more often.  Good luck on your recital.

It's a very good programm, but I would not open with the nocturne.

I'd switch the Beethoven and the Chopin ... apart from that, amazing program!

I think you should open it with a Russian composer like Rachmaninov or Scriabin
. And close it with an astounding but exciting piece. Any suggestions?

Isn't Mephisto Waltz not an astounding but exciting piece??

I also wouldn't normally open a program with a nocturne, BUT I think this particular one would make for an effective opening.  It's dramatic - you can get the audience attention right at the beginning.  I also love the clima of this piece.
