Upcoming competition repertoire

[virtuoso finn]

So in march I am going to enter a competition called "Christina concours" in the Netherlands. I have al my repertoire learned but the time limit is quite low at 10 min so I have to choose between two pieces

I am 99% surely gonna play Chopin etude op 25 no 1 because I am reaallllyyy comfortable with thay piece and have performed it many times on stage already (This piece is around 2.5 minutes)

For the second piece there are 3 options:

-Beethoven sonata op 10 no 2 (Sonata 6) mvt 1 (~6 min)

-Pictures at an exhebition (Mussorgksy), Gate of kiev (~5 min)

-Pictures at an exhebition (Mussorgksy), section of Baba yaga AND Gate of kiev (~7 min)

I feel like playing 2 romantic pieces is not the best idea but on the other hand I really love playing pictures at an exhebition. But playing only gate of kiev is pretty short for me so I still have some time left. But I cant fit the entire baba yaga movement before that so I would have to cut of the middle section

Any advice?

My suggestion:
Chopin op 25 no 1
Beethoven op 10 no 2 1st Mvt

And perhaps if i played the two Pictures at an exhbition movements and a different sonata (Had sonata 25 Op 79 mvt 3 in mind.) Would that be better than those two pieces?

Beethoven op 79 3rd mvt is a pretty easy, playful and very short work (2.0 minutes).  The Mussorgsky Gates of Kiev in contrast is very weighty and monumental.  I would suggest starting with op 79.

My original program suggestion seems like a more balanced program.  However, the results of the competition will largely come down to how well and confident you play.

Another guestion, sorry if it are to many haha. Instead of playing op 79. Would it be better if i play op 110 mvt 2 of beethoven? Or wpuld chopin and beethocen be better?
