Recital program help?

[messycomposition]

I plan on giving my Junior Recital next Spring and am having trouble picking pieces. I just finished Mendelssohn's Fantasy in f-sharp minor and have Mozart Sonata in c minor K. 457 and Tchaikovsky's Dumka ready. I haven't performed any of these pieces yet for anything except a performance class or two. I am partial to Dumka, because a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that piece! Plus I think it represents me well as a pianist and the Mendelssohn is far too underplayed and I really enjoy the Presto.

What should I keep, drop or add? Any past or future program lists or ideas would be great! I just want a solid program that everyone will enjoy and flows nicely.

What are your reservations about programming the three pieces you've mentioned?  (I'm not sure why you wouldn't keep them, or what the criteria would be for adding others.)

Does the duration of those three satisfy the standard for a typical junior recital?  If you were to add anything else, what pieces would you consider including?

Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Tchaikovsky do an excellent job in representing the Classical and Romantic eras. Those pieces would be wonderful for a recital! Maybe also play a Bach Prelude and Fugue and a 20th century era piece to have a well-rounded program.
