I was checking Juilliard's requirements to apply. (I'm not saying I will, nor that I can, although I wish I could hahaha) and they ask for a substantial composition by Liszt, Chopin, Schumann, Mendelssohn or Brahms... (Etudes, nocturnes, short dances, waltzes, or comparable pieces are not acceptable.) So I was wondering if they would accept papillons... Thank you.

They should do. It may not be Schumann's best, most substantial, most ambitious, or most difficult work, but substantial it is by all means. It would be extremely weird if they'd reject it.
