RCM ARCT setlist suggestion - final selection (list C) choice

[darcoto]

Hi there, first time on this forum as a poster though I've been on here numerous times over the years as an observer. I love this community!

I am working on my ARCT as an adult (coming back after 10 or 15 years off the piano), and have 5 of my pieces picked out and largely ready so I am finally ready to choose my last, my List C, which is also my favourite era. As those of you familiar with ARCT know, there are requirements around having a balanced program which are a bit subjective in nature, and my teacher is on a personal leave so I am looking to choose and start working on my List C but would love help from this group. Here is what I currently have:
List A - Bach Partita 1 in Bb Major (

) Prelude, Sarabande, and Gigue
List B - Schubert Sonata in A Major Op. 120 (

)
List D - Rachmaninoff Prelude in G Minor Op. 23 no. 5 (

)
List E -  John Ireland's The Island Spell (

)
List F - Chopin Etude Op. 25 no. 1, "Harp" (

)

For my List C I am mainly deciding between 3 options, and am open to any recommendations between these (or others) to round out my program:
1. Chopin Berceuse (

)
2. Clara Schumann Romance in G Minor Op. 11 no. 2 (

)
3. Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 no. 1 (

)

Thanks so much in advance!

Sorry what is your question? You want help choosing a piece from the final three videos you posted?

[darcoto]

Yes, exactly. I realized only after that I probably shouldn't have two Schubert pieces so I am trying to decide between the Chopin Berceuse, the Schumann Romance in G Minor, or any others from the ARCT syllabus List C (starting on page 101) https://rcmusic-kentico-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/rcm/media/main/about%20us/rcm%20publishing/piano-syllabus-2022-edition.pdf

Thank you!

Interesting that those three are your choices. The Berceuse is considerably more difficult technically than the other two. In terms of character however, I think the Schumann differs the most in character from what you already have, so it could be a better choice if you want to round out your program more. What do you think?
