I've listened to the ones I can find on youtube and I really like the sound of Souvenir de Sarasate for the C piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Kreutzer Etude no. 8 is also an alternative on the C list - can't really imagine playing that in an exam, has anyone done it?

Treat it as a 'caprice' or show piece and you'll find it much more manageable to play. From list B, Schubert is really the only one I honestly like, but from list A, either Bach, Handel or Vivaldi would be my choice.
