New Piano Market Statistics: Inside the Quiet Transformation of Piano Playing

For those of us who spend our lives on the bench — whether teaching, practicing for a recital, or simply playing for the love of it – the piano has always been a singular concept: wood, felt, strings, and soul.

Schumann: Waldszenen
It's kind of your level, but a bit longer. A very nice piece!

Well, I would have said some simple Liszt (it does exist) but won't now  ;)

Brahms Rhapsody opus 79#2 in g minor (not 79#1 which is harder) would be a good "darker" piece than those you've mentioned. I like the suggestion of Schumann, and could add Kinderscenen (you could pick the ones you like). Debussy Children's Corner Suite or Sarabande from Pour Le Piano aren't too hard and would start inching you toward more modern pieces, since you didn't list anything from late 19th or 20th century.
Post-recital -- looking at whole new program
Currently learning:
Schubert: Sonata in A minor, D784
Barber: Excursions
Considering new Bach Preludes & Fugues
& Chopin Sonata #3

Grieg Lyric Pieces are nice, as are Mendelsohn's Songs Without Words. Prokofiev Sonata #7.

Post best suited to the Repertory board, I think.
Very nice repertory you have learnt so far, after only 3 years it's a good achievement. About your question , see the following thread about beautiful but easy pieces:
