Holding piano recitals is an important process for a pianist to grow professionally. If you ask any pianists about best way of becoming pianistically competence, the answer is always "perform more". While having a recital, careful selection of programs plays a big part in the success of the big show.
When it comes to the planning part of the piano recital program, Pianopedia is indeed a handy tool. Pianopedia is a website developed by my college professor, Dr Eric Brisson. The site is a very useful tool for pianists around the world whenever they want to estimate the performance time, decide possible repertoire combination for good listening experience and optimized performance.
The site has a complete database of piano repertoires ranging from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, to Contemporary piano music. The completeness of the data allows you to estimate the time needed to perform a certain piece you have in mind, find sites to purchase the specific music score, and have a glance at the beginning portion of the music. It allows you to search through the vast collection of repertoire by using the names of the composers. In addition to that, users are encouraged to submit any piano piece that are new and not listed. Also worth mentioning, there is a French version of the site.
