Hello,
Any recommendations for L.Mus.A list B and list D? Preferably not too clashy  :)

Thanks,
Quolly

What don't you make it easier on us and include a link to these lists...
And get better recommendations by telling us what you've played in the past 18 months, what you liked, disliked, what was successful and not so successful.

I think I've attached the lists. I recently played:
- Schumann's fugue op.72 no. 1 and 2, the second one was successful and I gave up on the first within weeks of starting it.
- Beethoven's Pathetique sonata (successful but I don't like it)
- Tchaikovsky August from the seasons (successful and very easy. I like it)
I am currently working on Chopin's first ballade. it sounds very good.
I have not done a 20th century piece in a while.

Given your repertoire, Not sure how "successful" you'll be on that Chopin Ballade, in the difficult sections, but as long as you're enjoying it that's all that really matters.

You might as well play whatever appeals to you.  Do some listening.

If you mean a prelude and fugue from list B, really any bach one is good. The C sharp book 1 is popular. For list D Debussy or Ravel is a potentially good option, and there are some good Australian works you could try. (Wind Chimes by Wilcher is an incredibly easy Lmus option)
