I wouldn’t say Bartok is post-1940, better choices might a Ligeti etude, Berio sequenza (I don’t know how many are for piano), or a longer Stockhausen Klavierstücke. Of course, these all are incredibly difficult pieces, and you could also try something like John Adam’s China or Phygrian Gates or some other minimalist piece (I’m not sure if Phil Glass would suffice though…)
