In a few months I will give a solo recital. My programm:

Scriabin: Etudes op. 8 Nrs. 1, 2, 5 and 12
Scriabin: Preludes Op. 11 Nrs. 6, 9, 10, 14
Rachmaninoff: Preludes Op. 3 Nr. 2 and 23 Nr. 5
Chopin: Ballade Nr. 3

I will also try to add Prokofievs Diabolical Suggestion.

What do you think? Not to... 'heavy'? Which order? With a break between or not?
Give me your opinion!

Wow, you really like the russians. It would be a kickass recital to go to.

I would take out the Chopin and play the Scriabin preludes before the etudes.

Do you play any other Rachmaninov. Since you are into this repertoire you probably could add some slow major key preludes (23.4 and 23.10, for example) and or a transcription or two (Lilacs, Daisies), to lighten up. Or etudes tableux.

Perhaps not one Prokofiev (unless an encore); what about some visions or toccata or sonata 3?

Since you have a Russian tilt to your program, would you consider some Kapustin?

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I would love to, but it seems so hard to me. I never really tried to play it, but just listening and watching to it... May be some prelude, a suggestion?

Thanks for your nice comments already.

Nah! keep the Ballade its a good repertoire builder and a fantastic piece and it shows a different side from the other rep Id put it:
Scriabin Preludes
Scriabin etudes
Ballade 3
Brief platform break-------
Prokofiev suggestion diabolique
Rachmaninov Preludes

Its certainly not too heavy - I think its a great idea! You do need that 10mins throughcomposed work in the first section though because otherwise it could get a bit bitty!
