My conservatory program makes me do a group playing thing and I only want to do a piano duet. But I don't know a lot of repertoire for piano duos that are kind of advanced. So any suggestion? Nothing too long, 10-15 minutes is good enough.

Exemples would be something like the Fantasie in F by Schubert, or the Pavane for a Dead Princess (arrangement?), the St-Saens Danse Macabre etc.

The 2 latter ones have already been played so it would be kind of cliché to replay them, adn the fantasie seems boring.

Well, Liszt has a two-piano verson of his Les Preludes which is absolutely beautiful. Also, Grand Galop Chromatique and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 have been arranged by Liszt for two pianos.

I SECOND THAT!!! and if you could get a third person to play, you could play Rachmaninov's pieces for one piano 6hands. No one every plays them--And they are pretty easy!
Mozart wrote something in DMajor for two hands... I have to see if I can find a recording of it for you.

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Oh my goodness!! Play the Dallas Tango by David Karp! Oh, you gotta do it! Once me and my teacher played it at an informal recital, and a guy actually called and wrote us a letter, because he loved it so much. I'm serious. It's one of those rare pieces that just catch whoever is listening right up into the music even if you mess it up, like we usually do, lol. It's only about 5 minutes long though. But DO IT! It is my favorite piece of piano music ever, almost!
