does anyone know any good pieces that are not overplayed? is anyone familiar with balakirevs scherzo no2? is it overplayed? 
It really shouldn't matter whether something is overplayed. Pieces are generally overplayed with good reason--because they're important works that help define a period, help teach a technique, are a joy to listen to, or all of the above. That being said, if a piece seems appropriate for you, play it. Furthermore, if you're playing a piece that everyone knows at a recital, you have the added advantage of pleasing the crowd by giving them something familiar. It shouldn't be about pleasing the crowd, obviously, but the mainstream listeners generally have more appreciation for well-known pieces. If you're able to play something incredibly famous, and still impress people with it, then you've accomplished a difficult task. You're expected to play every note perfectly, and because there's a high standard and recognition by the audience, they're going to notice if you screw up. I'm playing Rondo Alla Turca tomorrow at a recital, and I feel a little guilty about playing something so well-known, almost to the point of being hackneyed, not to mention something which isn't all that technically challenging. Nevertheless, I'm paying special attention that I really nail this piece, and do things with it that people might not expect. Though it isn't technically challenging, I realize that there is a lot of nuance within it, and it's important to do everything right in order to not butcher this "over-played" piece. The same could be said about anything that is wildly popular.
All this being said, no, that piece you mention isn't over-played at all. Maybe you'd like to choose something more well-known
