Personally, I'm not a big fan of Yiruma, and I find that I can't learn much from studying his pieces. They don't offer me much technical gain and are rather unsatisfying musically speaking. They are pretty pieces meant to be played for friends in informal settings rather than a concert hall.
Plus, River Flows in You and Kiss the Rain are my least favorite compositions by Yiruma. His Chaconne and Elegy are much better pieces in my opinion

Having said that..

I recommend Schumann's Traumerei. It really is one of the greatest overplayed pieces ever. Played right (especially Horowitz's playing), it's one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for piano. And the notes are quite simple too!
Ravel Jeux D'eau
Brahms 118/2
Liszt Concerto 1

How about some of the Chopin preludes Op.28?
For example:
No.7 in A major
No.15 in Db major (Raindrop prelude)

You sound like you have some repertoire, so perhaps you've already got these covered...
Here are some Norwegian pieces:
Grieg: Arietta (Op.12-1)
Sæverud: Rondo Amoroso (Op.14, "Simple pieces for the clavier", 1939).

With all the voices, with all the voicing, with all the expression? Not just vertically but also horizontally? So sorry if I'm wrong, but according to this statement and according to some of your recordings I suppose you're underestimating Schumann and overestimating yourself.

Any piece by Schumann is 1000x harder than any Yiruma piece. If you can't finish learning a Yiruma piece, you weren't ready to play the Schumann in the first place.

Give Schumann his proper respect. There's more to music than just playing the notes.

Brahms 118/2
