Program advice

[lagin]

I'm thinking of changing my Sonata in my program from Mozart's D major, K311, to Schubert's A major, op. 120, D664.  The sonata portion will be worth 25 % of my final grade, so I really want to make sure that it is something I can play and play well, but I still want it to have some contrast with the rest of my program that I am not willing to change.  I'm worried I'm going too Romantic and loosing my variation by ditching the Mozart.  What do you all think?  BTW, I haven't learned any of these yet, for I have 3 more months to finish my current program first.

List A: Bach Toccata and fugue in e minor, BVW 914 (kinda romantic opening)
List B: to be decided upon (Don't have the hand size for the Beethoven from the list, and need a Major key work to offset all my minor keyed works)
List C: Chopin Nocturne in c# minor, op. 27, no.1 (very romantic, of course)
List D: Rachmaninoff Prelude in g minor, op. 23, no.5 (this is a popular piece, so you probably already know it, and that Rach is rather Romantic compared to the other early 20th century composers)
List E: Barber's Excursions no. 3 and 4 (the first one is quite lyrical, the second one is NOT)
Etude: Morel's Deux etudes de sonorite, no. 2 (this is NOT ROMANTIC music!)

I know some programs should sort of tie together and that being the case, this would work well, but my teacher wants me to have lots of variety.  To be honest, I'm also concerned that I wouldn't be able to make a clean run of the Mozart in the exam.  The hardest thing I've played so far is the first mvmt. of Pathetique and it gives you those nice graves in the heat of things, which the Mozart's 1st and 2nd movements surely do not.

BTW, I think I don't like the Mozart that much, but I don't like the Schubert much either.  Basically it comes down to CAN I play the Mozart well eventually, for I think I like it better than the Schubert.  But which one would fit better with the rest of my exam repertoire.  BTW, the other reasons I ruled Beethoven out where the sheer length of his Major keyed sonatas, coupled with the large reaches, and then there's the speed added on top.  I think I'd be safer with one of these other 2.  (I really like Beethoven's sonatas that AREN"T in the syllabus, go figure eh?)

Nope, nope.  I listened to the Schubert again, and I'm going with it.  It is much safer, and much more interesting than the Mozart afterall, IMO.
