Another good rep list is published by the Universityof Iowa and is
available from Eble Music Co. in Iowa City (I know someone out there has
the phone number handy!) I got this book when I was in high school,
looking for good rep. Eble can usually order this stuff for you too if
they don't have it in stock.

A couple more choices for you -- Bernhard Henrik Crusell's Concerto in f
minor (op. 5, I think) and Niels Gade's Fantasiestucke -- which is
similar in nature to the Schumann Phantasiestucke, but a better choice
for younger players, in my opinion.

Check out the U of I book for sure, though -- really handy!
