Prokofiev Suggestion Diabolique fits the bill

Poulenc Presto, Improvisations are great too

[pseudopianist]

Liszts first TE etude


EDIT: Missed the thing about 20th century


I'd go with some Scribain preludes like Op11/6 Op11/14 or number 3

[presto agitato]

20th century: Scriabin Prelude Op 11 num 14

[nanabush]

Prelude 16 by Chopin, or 24

Lecuona - Gitanerias

Albeniz-Godowsky - Tango

Villa-Lobos - Dansa Do Indio Branco

Ginastera - 12 American Preludes #9 (Homage to Aaron Copland)

[BoliverAllmon]

Shostakovich wrote some crazy preludes.

[mlsmithz]

I was just going to suggest the Shostakovich preludes (Op.34, not from the preludes and fugues Op.87) - particularly good as concert closers/encores might be No.5 in D major or No.9 in E major, or, if you'd prefer something in a minor key, perhaps No.6 in B minor or No.20 in C minor.

true don't play Op. 87 unless you play the fugue also.

Kapustin Jazz Etudes
Scriabin Etudes Op. 8 #3, 12, Op. 42 anything
Bartok Op. 18 Etudes
Godowsky-Chopin Etudes

[MattL]

Scriabin Prelude Op. 11 No. 14, Prokofiev's Le Suggestion Diabolique, or Khachaturian's Saber Dance (not entirely virtuosic, but fast (presto), with a very famous theme, and very fun to play) .

[jeremyjchilds]

Prelude #6 from Robert Muczynski (how the heck do you spell his name)
(Six preludes op.6)

Really Really cool, and not too hard, (sounds harder than it is)

Hope you like octaves, hell-raising, and jabbing stabbing "bloody knife" accents.

this is not a "cute" song, but it is quite short and really leaves an impression!!

[montiverdirocks]

Chopin's octaves etude, "The Banjo" by Gottschalk,
20th century- the last piece from Danzas Argentinas by Ginastera (Argerich has a sick recording)

[viking]

Ditto on the Grand Gallop Chromatique!  It cant get much better than that.  Short, extremely virtuosic, but not 20th cent....
SAM

[Skeptopotamus]

Nancarrow Tango
Ligeti Etudes Nos. 1, 3, 4 or 6
Danielpour Mardigras
Bowen Toccata
Xenakis ar.
Cage Two Pieces for Piano
Stockhausen Klavierstucke VIII
Corigliano "Ornament"


meh he asked for 21st century.............

I am certainly more interested in the less known works but i do appreciate the other suggestions also.
There is just so much repertoire and so little time
