They probably want only the cadenza because they want to hear a clean example of interpretation. It's unstructured from a tempo standpoint, it's highly virtuosic, it's got a lot of stylistic contrast, and there's a lot of music in the cadenza if you spend the time to let the passages mature in you. If you can play the VW cadenza cleanly and musically, you can play almost any piece of music you will ever encounter in an orchestra. That's what the committee is looking for.
