Richter obviously.
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

I love this sonata. It's going to be on my senior recital along with Schumann's Davidsbundlertanze.  These 2 pieces will take up the 50 minutes.  Which piece should I play first?

Oh and I voted for Raekallio.

I would play the Prokofiev first.
