Others have posted nice recommendations, and perhaps this would be a good way to approach it.
If you want to stick with the old standards from the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Mozart concerto and the Weber concertos, concertino, and Grand Duo are great choices.
For mid to late 19th century music, the Brahms sonatas and Schumann Fantasy Pieces are wonderful. Also consider the Gade Fantasy Pieces, nice music that is sometimes overlooked. The Saint-Saens sonata mentioned above, composed in the early 20th century, is another good pick that fits into this group.
If you're thinking about music of the last 100 years, the list has many great options. My personal favorites are the Poulenc Sonata and the Martinu and Malcolm Arnold Sonatinas. If they'll allow you to select something not on the list, strongly consider the Copland Sonata (the composer's authorized transcription of the violin sonata).
Are you familiar with IMSLP/Pertucci Music Library? http://imslp.org/
Most (perhaps all) of the older selections can be found there.
