What do you think of the following program for the recital (in terms of length, difficulty, contrasts in style, etc)? Since it is likely that I will have to do the first recital in a couple of years, I think it's better to start learning some of the pieces pretty soon...

You can also suggest any alternate pieces if you believe they will make a whole program look even better...any comments will be appreciated  :D

(BTW, how long do you typically spend on the full recital repertoire given that you allot 5 hours a day for the practice and you haven't learned any of the pieces before? This is because I will need to budget total hours to set up the practice schedule, otherwise it is possible to feel overwhelmed in the end with a lot of time pressure...)
