Hindemith's Sonata...
Hartley's Sonatas...
Frackenpohl Concertino (that's not a high level piece, but you can do it easyli on a contrabass tuba)...
G. Jacob, the first and second suite (it's playable on a contrabass tuba... I've played it when I only had a CC tuba...)
Persichetti's Serenade no 12...
I don't have another piece in mind, but there is many other good piece playable on a CC. Almost all the music is playable on a CC, you can play Vaughan Williams if you want, if you can get high Ab. One think, F tuba or Eb will help you a lot for playing solo music... Even Eb high range is easier than F and there is a good low range too... If you want a good instrument to play everything on, you should consider to choose a good Eb tuba... I remember your post about playing one instrument only. I play Eb tuba (and I have a pt-6 too), but I can play my Eb in almost all situations. In solo and chamber music (except large brass ensemble, but with some execptions...) I use my Eb... So it could be a good instrument for you...
take care...
