A friend of mine who just got a full ride to McGill for viola performance played the Walton Concerto, Bach's 1st Suite, and one of the Brahms sonatas; I believe she used Novacek's Moto Perpetuo as one of her etudes and a Paganini Caprice (I think #16) as another.

There is the big 3 (Walton, Bartok, and Hindemith) concertos. Then the typical Bach cello suites (or even violin sonatas/partitas). Check out the Reger viola suites. No.3 is great.
