If you want something that's not too long, you could try a couple of the easier Chopin preludes. I don't remember which offhand are which, but maybe Gm if that's the one I'm thinking of.

Just a thought.

If you want something that just sounds pretty to play in front of people, check out Big My Secret or The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Michael Nyman (from the movie Piano).

Liszt's Paganini Study No. 3 "La Campanella". I'm not sure how hard it would be for you, as I haven't seen the sheet music and can barely play anything myself. It sounds like a difficult piece to play smoothly. It's also one of the most unique pieces I've heard.

Don't be a pussy. Just learn Rachmaninoff's third concerto, start to finish.

Are you trying to imply that Moonlight Sonata is easy to play? I'd love to see you try the 3rd movement.

oh ya, my bad. I heard the 3rd movement was a b*tch to play

Rondo Alla Turca - Mozart.

Edit: Actually hard to say without more criteria other than difficulty level and song being awesome. But the above is my favorite.

most original Lizst is too hard at this point. He's like the Stevie Ray of piano.

Debussy is by far the most fun music that I have ever played on piano. Liszt and Chopin are real fun too, but Claire de Lune and I think it is called Golliwog's Cakewalk are real fun Debussy tunes, and it will take a long time to play as fast as they are supposed to go. My two cents at least.
