Czerny Study Op299 No22 - repeated notes. If it weren't for this study, I
wouldn't be able to to play the repeated notes part of La Campanella and
some other pieces that require this particular technique.
Liszt Etude Op1 No4 (The cocoon of Mazeppa) - study in 3rd. It's child's play
compared to Mazeppa.
I was going to say, you have a better chance of completing Scriabin's 12
etudes op8 than one set of Chopin's etudes.
Scriabin etudes - Op8 no8, 11. They're the slow ones. Op8 No12 is fantastic
and was the 1st Scriabin etude I learned.
Chopin Etude Op10 No9 - a stretch of the left hand, and the 1st Chopin etude
I learned on my own.

Hummel Op 125 No 16 in f#- ? if only specifically for the reason that you
state you struggle with octaves, this could help you quite a bit without it
being over the top difficult.
