your question is quite right!
but my teacher and me would like something new because we have been working on pathetique for a lot of time and ravel's pavane has been recently played by another student!  :-\

Brahms intermezzo in A major
Chopin Nocturne F major op.15
Liszt consolation no 3
Schumann Träumerei.

Sorry for the late reply, I just forgot to check back, these are pieces I enjoy. That fits a recital.
And that can be ready in 2-3 months.

this is one of my favorites to listen to over and over lately, i think it's because i keep hearing the theme from the andante mov ii from the symphony 5 in e minor (i do hope i'm not the only one that hears this it's the first thing that jumps out at me, really tckaikovsy is among my favs and had a gift for melody so a rachmaninoff incarnation of it? amazing!)

if you want to play something they might not have heard before, this early solo work by tchaikovsy is wonderful, it took forever but i manged to find an mp3 file of it (at the time there zero you tube vids of this)

op 2 no 1, first piece of the set inthe study score attached, an under performed gem!

im going to play in my conservatory's concert on february, but i havent choosen the piece yet.

Now im working on beethoven's sonata "pathetique", czerny 50: etude 8 and ravel's "pavane pour une infante defunte".

Id like also to inform you that i prefer romantic pieces, but i dont like to play something very very famous...!
Isn't the Pathetique and Pavane por une infanta difunte actually famous pieces?

OT: I recommend any of Rachmaninoff's Musical Moments or Fantasy pieces, any Nocturne by Chopin. Or a Prelude. Something by Bach wouldn't hurt either.
