Recital program

[ahmedito]

I am going to be leaving for Spain soon and I am playing some recitals for local businessmen, looking for sponsorship. Most of these people know absolutely nothing about classical music (nor do they care, just wanting a tax writeoff). I want to build some recital programmes that will apeal to a non-musical audience and at the same time make me look good... I cant start working on new music because I already have a list of stuff to prepare (which includes Prokovieffs third concerto ouch!). Heres the music I have in good quality right now:

7 different contrasting Scarlatti sonatas
Helmut lachenmmans 7 movement Ein Kinderspielen (played it for him at a contemporary music festival recently)
Chopin's Berceuse
Chopin's Fantasie-Polonaise
Beethovens sonata in e minor op. 90 n. 27
Griegs 6 lyric pieces op. 68
Rachimaninoffs Etude op. 33 n4 and n5

How could I arrange these?

Heres what Ive got... less than a week till the first recital:

Recital 1
the Scarlatti sonatas
Grieg
Rachmaninoff
Lachenmann

Recital 2
Beethoven
Fantasie
Berceuse

Recital 3
(Chamber music with my wife)
Hayden Violin sonata in G
Mozart Violin sonata in G
Beethoven's Spring

Recital 4
(Chamber music with my brother)
Corelli sonata 4
Haendel sonata 5
Beethoven sonata 2
4 or 5 short pieces (Meditation, kachaturian's nocturne, etc)

I can still move the pieces around, maybe mix up the chamber music... any suggestions? Ive got 5 more days till the first recital.

sounds like a good order to me.  i don't think i would change anything.
