Choosing new rep!

[tiramisu]

Hi!
I'm currently a junior in high school looking for some rep suggestions to work on for senior year 
For context, I've been learning the piano for about 13 years. I just finished learning and polishing Chopin's Scherzo No. 2. It wasn't particularly easy, but with work, I pulled it off decent, so it would be great to discover some cool rep with similar or more difficulty! Some other rep I've played recently are Bach's Italian Concerto and Liebetraum No. 3. Being a junior and almost in the stage of college apps, I get super unmotivated to practice sometimes, so it would be nice if you guys could recommend some rep that are very "epic" and virtuosic while still having really beautiful melodies. Anything enjoyable and exciting to keep me hooked when practicing!!
Thank you so much!

I would definitely recommend you play some of Nikolai Medtner's Fairy Tales, especially op. 20 no.1

They are pretty difficult, but definitely worth the time!

Def biased but I've been playing rhapsody on a theme of Paganini (op 18) by Rachmaninoff. My fav song to play esp if you like the grand sections of Liebestraum!! Sounds better with an orchestra though, but the piano version itself is great too. Also, songs like fantasie impromptu are obviously very grand and epic too. I also think that pavane pour une infante defunte by ravel may start off kinda slow ish, but at the end of the song it sounds very very beautiful (and perhaps grand if you improv with it!). good luck!

This Scriabin is several notches harder than Chopin's 2nd Scherzo you mentioned. Take a look, but may be best to leave learning until later.

I second the Medtner. He is not played super often but extremely rewarding. Other Suggestions from him would include his Op 51 set of fairy tails or his Sonata “elegy” op 11 no 2.
      If you want to do some more Chopin you could do his 2nd or 3rd ballade or possibly one of his etudes.
      If you like Scriabin you could look at op 38 or one of his etudes from op 8 (except for maybe no.10  )
You could maybe do one of his sonatas 2, 4, or 9 though those might be a bit of a stretch and would take a lot of effort to bring to a high level
Have you considered a Beethoven or Schubert sonata?
Maybe one of Liszt’s transcendental etudes (I’d stay away from 4, 5, 12 and maybe 10 for now)
         Have you ever looked at the Spanish repertoire? The Iberia suite by Albeniz is awesome (and difficult  ) for now I’d stay away from Fete Dieu a Seville, Triena, Lavapies, and maybe Eritaña for all four are technical nightmares
        That’s all I can think of so far. On top of this it may be smart to maybe choose a Bach P&F from the well-tempered clavier or one of his French or English suites for I believe it’s always good to be studying some Bach

Scriabin's 10th sonata is rewarding, and not so technically daunting as many others, in my view at least

Los Requiebros by Granados from the Goyescas suite is very beautiful as well as being very virtuosic

Musically all those late sonatas are quite challenging to make sense of, but technically the 10th might be one of the easier. I quite like that sonata. What did you find rewarding about it?
