Double Bass good solopieces for intermediate students?

[Mupathan]

Hey! I have recently taken over a student who's fifteen years old and who plays really nicely in the orchestra. Just now she's playing beethvens third symphony and mozart's pianoconcerto in d-minor with the orchestra.
Now I wan't to nominate her for a scholarship but then I need to put her in front with a solopiece. She's mainly an orchestraplayer so she's not very experienced with the thumb position but I've introduced that to her this fall. Does anyone have any recomended solopieces that she can work on in order to get the scholarship?
I'm not an experienced classical player myself so I don't know that much about the standard repertoire.

Thanks,
Patrik

Marcello and Vivaldi's sonatas would probably be good for this level. I'm only familiar with the two in e minor, but those two don't go very high and have a lot of music to make.

There aren't really any good performances in the right octave, on bass, on youtube that I could find, but here's Rabbath playing the Vivaldi an octave up (original octave, technically) so you can get the gist of it.
