Whoa you have 2 Baroque and 2 Classical pieces!  Most people say they've played everything by Chopin/Liszt/Rachmaninoff and ask for new things to play haha.

Maybe if you really are into Mozart, another sonata?  There's a recent thread discussing the difficulty of these.

Something 20th Century?  Ravel 'Prelude' from Tombeau de Couperin, Debussy "Bruyeres" or "Reverie".
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

I tend to get into a Mozart rutt - love the little wig wearing man, but it's really fun to try different composers.  I'm learning Haydn Sonata 54 in G Major right now.   Only the first movement, because I think that the next may be beyond my abilities - but you should give it a whirl.  It's very different and challenging in some spots.   

Beethoven's Pastorale is a lot of fun too, and you can get it on this site.  Not sure about the Haydn piece... I just took a copy from my teacher.
Currently learning:
Chopin Prelude Op. 28, no. 15
Schubert Sonata in A Major, D.959: Allegretto

If you like Mozart, you could try one of his piano concertos. There are 27 of them to pick from.  ;)

Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words are wonderful pieces. Or if you wanted to be different, you could try one of Charles-Valentin Alkan's Chants. This one is my favorite:


Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin is technically not too difficult (except the Toccata, of course!) and my personal favorite movement is the third, the Forlane. :)
