Create your IDEAL concert Program (to attend)

[dizzyfingers]

If you had the opportunity to curate your ideal piano concert program (as a listener) - selecting any compositions from Baroque to Contemporary — what program would create the most engaging and musically captivating experience for you?
For example:

Bach - Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue
Bartok - piano sonata
Messiaen - selections from Vingt Regards
- intermission -
Beethoven - sonata op 79
Hindemith - sonata #3
Elliott Carter - Night Fantasies

Feel free to list more than one program.

As a listener I tend to like programs with things I know combined with things that are new. I don't mind "war horses" such as the Heroic Polonaise showing up since it's still cool to hear a particular pianist's take on a piece I know well. So maybe 1 war horse, a couple of pieces I know, and a few new/unusual ones would be a good mix for me!

cool, so what's an example of your ideal program?

As there is a lot of music I am interested in, my notion of an ideal program is rather broad. 

For example, it would be nice to see someone experiment more with the ordering of pieces in a program. 

This would be interesting to me:

Antonio de Cabezón - a selection of Tiento's transcribed for piano.
Mozart K 332, Mvt 1
Ginastera Sonata No 1.
Mozart K 332, Mvt 2
Ginastera Sonata No 2.
Mozart K 332, Mvt 3
Ginastera Sonata No 3.

Encore: Villa-Lobos Rudepoema

Cabezon? One of my favourites. But on the piano?

Oooh, I've been recently getting into more classical music lately so my ideal program would be (prob not in this order):
1.Sleeping beauty suite duet (idk what it's called but it's beautiful)
2. liebesleid
3. Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor rachmaninoff
4. rhapsody on a theme of paginini no 18
5.chopins ballade no 1 in g minor

very your lie in April coded

Let me fill in the blanks for you amigo.

Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty - suite for piano duet arranged by Rachmaninoff
Liesleid by Fritz Kreisler arranged for piano by Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerto no 2 - Rachmaninoff
Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini - variation 18 - Rachmaninoff
Chopin Ballade no 1 in g minor

Sounds like you like Rachmaninoff!
