Hello guys,
as you see the title, i would like to ask for some pieces that are at least 14 min long cuz i'm bored and not something like a set of etudes but something like a singular piece or just at worst a suite or etude would be fine but it has to be the full thing. thanks! I do have a little preference for contemporary (that's what i meant as "Con" in the topic) and more prefer modern/living composers!

Here's a list from off the top of my head. Stuff from modern or contemporary eras is bolded, italics is stuff that's extraordinarily difficult lmao. Mostly went for stuff that's 15-20 minutes.

Alkan - Op. 39 no. 11 "Ouverture" [15 minutes]
Liszt - most of his Fantaisies and Operatic Paraphrases e.g. Tannhäuser Overture, La Clochette, Lucrezia Borgia, Norma, etc.
Chaminade - Op. 21 Sonata [16 minutes]
Alkan - Op. 33 Grande Sonate [about 42 minutes; 2nd movement is about 15]
Fauré - Op. 19 Ballade [14 minutes]
Liszt - most of the Beethoven Symphony Transcriptions have a 15-20 minute movement
Gibbons - Op. 116 Fantaisie [18 minutes]
Stravinsky - Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka
Alkan - Op. 61 Sonatine [18 minutes]
Beethoven - Op. 106 Sonata no. 29 "Hammerklavier" mvt. 3
Beethoven - Op. 110 Sonata no. 31 [20 minutes]
Price - Sonata [21 minutes]
Prokofiev/Nikolaeva - Peter and the Wolf arrangement [18 minutes]

Writing this has realized that even though I listen to plenty of contemporary music, I listen to basically no modern music lmao.

Large single movement works by living composers is a tough one, everything I think of is too short/multi-movement. The four I did think of (none are easy, mind):
Adès- Traced Overhead, Concert Paraphrase on Powder Her Face
Benjamin- Sortilèges
Gondai- Transient Bell

And for non-living there's the longer movements of Messiaen's Vingt Regards/Catalogue d'oiseaux.

For suites/sonatas/multi-movement works there's way too many to list.
