Hello everyone, I want to get some inspirations for a 6 to 8 minutes long piece from classical epoch. It is for an all-instrument competition. Thank you in advance!

Classical epoch as in Haydn-Mozart-Beethoven-ish?

Well, I believe you chose the right instrument. ;)
If you're allowed to feature multiple instruments, you could do a movement from a concerto. Perhaps Liszt or Chopin (not saying one of the Rach concertos because you asked for classical).
However, I do have the same question as lelle. What do mean by the "classical epoch"?

I'm a bit confused by the wording of your question, but I'm assuming you mean a solo piano piece from the classical period. If you are allowed a particular sonata movement, it is a much easier choice, but otherwise, I can think of Beethoven's WoO 77 or Op. 76 variations. There's the Hob. XVI/51 sonata for a complete sonata or Beethoven's Op. 49 if you're leaning on the easier side. If the time constraint isn't hard, I really love Mozart's K 511 rondo too but it might not fit into the intended mood. If sonata movements are allowed, there's Mozart's virtually unknown K 400 sonata movement, the last movement of K 533 or K 333, or K 330, or virtually any Beethoven 1st or last movement. I guess you could also check out a Clementi sonatina. There are lots of options and I don't really get your wording, but this website gives a general idea: https://www.pianolibrary.org/ Also, this all depends on how fast you play the piece, and (this is especially important for Classical), whether you choose to play through all repeats.

Yes! Vienna classics.

Sorry to confuse you. I meant Vienna Classics epoch.

Beethoven Fur Elise or Mozart Alla Turca :)
Just joking.
Is a movement of a classical sonata allowed? Or it must be a complete work?
6-8 minutes...... Are repeats in the work allowed or not allowed?
