The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Overall it's a nice program. Good luck ! However it seems a bit restricted. Any reason you didn't want to throw anything Baroque and/or 20th century into the mix ? Personally I would like to see a bit more variety (but that's only my personnal opinion)...

That was the first thing I thought of.

I think that it's a good idea you started off with Appassionata. I don't know what the audience is gonna be like, but if they're not usually classical listeners, people typically like something loud and fast.
