I saw it recently programed with Schubert Piano Sonata in C minor D. 958 and Mozart's Variations on a Minuet by Jean Pierre Duport, in D major, K. 573.

But how about...

Bach: English Suite No.4 in F major, BWV 809
Busoni: Sonatina no. 1
Frank: Franck: Prelude, Choral and Fugue
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

OMG...I'm in SO MUCH LOVE with that C minor piano sonata...I'd pay to go to a concert with the program you mentioned, almost regardless of who the pianist is!

Bach: English Suite No.4 in F major, BWV 809
Busoni: Sonatina no. 1
Frank: Franck: Prelude, Choral and Fugue

Wow, that's a musically eclectic combination...interesting...

If you wanted to make things really interesting, I would be inclined to do Balakirev's Scherzo No 2 and Stojowski's Fantasie (Op 88).

If your feeling brave, you could try one of the Medtner sonata's or Glazunov sonata no 2. Actually Glazunov did a brilliant prelude and fugue in D minor which is just about never played. In place of Busoni's Sonatine, I would opt for his Fantasie after Bizet's Carmen.

If you were after rather more "familiar" works. How about Lizst's Fugue on BACH after Albeniz' Triana from Iberia?
Currently rehearsing:

Chopin Ballades (all)
Rachmaninov prelude in Bb Op 23 No 2
Mozart A minor sonata K310
Prokofiev 2nd sonata
Bach WTCII no 6
Busoni tr Bach toccata in D minor
