Hi, I've been reading here for a while, but this is the first time I've posted!
So I'm taking A-Level music, and one of the requirements is either to compose two pieces or perform a 20 minute recital, and I have eventually decided to take the performance option. The only requiremnt is that the pieces are all linked in some way, though there does need to be contrast between the pieces preferably for the higher marks. I've decided to play all piano transcriptions, as I've never really played many before, and I read through the topic here a while ago where you discussed your favourites. I used that as a starting point but I'm still having a bit of trouble. I was wondering if anybody could suggest some possible recitals? It can be two or three minutes over, but none under!
I had thought about...
Bach-Busoni - Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
Mendelssohn-Rachmaninoff - Scherzo from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Beethoven-Liszt - Symphony No.7 - II (Allegretto)
I would like to play atleast one piece about 9-10 minutes long, I don't want 4x5 minute pieces, atleast.
I'm also interested in two of the pieces Volodos plays on his one CD, the Tchaikovsky Symphony 6 Scherzo and the Bach Trio 5 Largo, but I have no idea where I could get the music from. Does anyone have it who could send it me please? Atleast so I could have a look at it (scherzo is hard I'm guessing).
In term of difficulty, I don't want anything crazily hard, I have got until about May to learn them, but I've got a lot on my plate! I'm almost finished with Chopin's 1st Ballade (hence the name

) which I'm playing for the main solo I have to play for my A-Level, though I probably don't want anything quite that hard again. I probably shouldn't have learnt it tbh, but oh well, I don't regret it now I can!

I'm open to any suggestions, you can suggest something totally new if you want. Thanks in advance for any replies!
