What Next?

Hey everyone!  I'm sorry this is another one those retarded what next posts, but I just looking for some good recommendations on what to play next.  I am not very good, but to give you an idea of where I am:  I just recently finished Rachmaninoff's prelude in C# minor, Mozart sonata K.545, and Gershwin prelude #2.  Anyway, I was curious if anyone had any suggestions (about the level of the Rachmaninoff), I thinking I want to do a Beethoven sonata; any good suggestions for a sonata at my level?

Try Beethovens Tempest sonata in D minor the Third Movement, its a reall master piece, it takes a lot of work to get it sounding nice.

I have always had a spot for Beethoven's first sonata in f min. try there. it is one of his easier sonatas.

Beethoven op. 10 n.2 is one of the shortest and most fun to learn. Only three movements and the last one, Presto (fugato) just looks hard, but is quite amusing to play alone or wow a group of people with.

Beethoven op. 22 is quite long, 4 movements and about 25 pages, but it's really easy to memorize also - you'll just encounter some technique problems on the right hand. It is gorgeous and once you learn it, you will keep it for the rest of your life..

My lessons are weekly, and I am going to talk to her next week.  But, I wanted to bring in some stuff I wanted to play (Beethoven Sonata for now).  Anyway, I realize that it's mostly a matter of personal taste (besides the the level of the piece, and beneficial technique/musicality), so I was just looking for any suggestions.  Please suggest pieces that are at about the level (or slightly higher) then the Rach. prelude I just finished, as that seems to be my current level of playing.

The first and third movement of the Scriabin 3rd sonata, perhaps.

Tempest is an excellent recommendation!

The first movement of this sonata is FOOKIN AMAZING !! It gives me goosebumps and adrenaline rush just to think about it, no joke.
