I like the Schumann pieces a lot, but I'm growing on Brahms, as well

Whatever makes a better presentation. If it was me, I'd say brahms 2 is too much work to share with the rest and maintain quality.

I might do my masters one day. I might be 40 years old by then but im not going to let that stop me.

If only choose between Brahms Op 119 and Schumann Op 12,
as audience I pick Schumann,
but as candidate I would expect the examiner will be less pleased with Schumann because it is technically not so challenging.
