There is squillions.

Thal

[klavierkonzerte]

some favorites

wolfl - grand sonata in c minor, very attractive and vertuosic
dussek- la morte de marie antoinette, i love this piece

[thalbergmad]

I am trying out some Woelfl at the moment and remain very impressed.

Not "Beethoven" level, but a nice alternative. I understand Beethoven admired his compositions.

Quality forgotten composer that deserves further investigation.

Thal

Antonin Reicha - the 36 fugues are just astounding.

Are mostly boring. Sorry. 

[webern78]

that's from the baroque period

Soler is baroque one moment (when he's ripping off Scarlatti's style) and classical the other (when he's trying do his own thing, unsuccessfully i might add).

1. CPE Bach wasn't classical.  He was empfinsamkeit.

2. Hummel and Clementi were a bit late.  I wouldn't count them.

3.  Schubert

Hummel and Clementi couldn't possibly be more archtypically classical.

[cygnusdei]

Kozeluch (1747-1818) apparently wrote  a handful of piano concertos, not that I ever heard any of them.

2. Hummel and Clementi were a bit late.  I wouldn't count them.

Clementi was born before Mozart, so hardly late.

I'm sorry.  I was wrong- although a lot of their works were written in the romantic period, were they not?
