I don't believe in the idea that recital material should take you to the edge of your abilities. I would select pieces that require about 80% of your present abilities. You probably won't play as well as you possibly can so you need a buffer zone. Save the very difficult pieces for the practice room and once those become easy select pieces for performance that are one notch below.
