For parallel intervals such as octaves and fifths, as suggested by Kent Swafford, consider La Cathedrale Engloutie from Preludes, Book I by Claude Debussy. It also contains lots of chords, and makes extensive use of most of the keyboard. This composition, along with its widely spaced parallel octaves and fifths will not only show off your octave tuning, but temperament tuning and unison tuning as well. Provided, of course, that this wonderful tuning is done on a wonderful piano. Allan N.
