Do you mean the Liszt-Mozart Don Juan?  If so, scrap the Hungarian Rhapsody and play that last!  Otherwise, I personally enjoy starting the recital with a slow piece, get the mood set.  But that's just me.


Liszt - Nuages Gris, Funerailles
Mozart - Sonata in C K330
Brahms - Rhapsody in G minor
Ravel - Sonatine
-----
Rachmaninoff - Preludes in G# minor, B minor and C# minor
Tan Dun - Eight memories in Water colour
Mozart - Don Juan Fantasy (Liszt???)

That's what I'd do.

Mozart, Chopin and Liszt, among others, all have piano pieces based on Don Juan.
