List A is there to show agility and technical ability. Broadly speaking, this does tend to be Baroque music but not always - sometimes you get Shostakovich on list A.
I've never thought about that, but yeah, List A is about Agility. Romantic pieces tend to need streatch, not agility, so classical and baroque pieces come in.
