need a recommendation for a classical piece

[hodi]

i'm looking for a good classical piece, which ISN'T by mozart,haydn,beethoven or clementi
i prefer a 1-movement work
like a fantasy
any recommendations?!

i don't know of any particular work but you could try somthing by J.N Hummel

There is an immense amount of music outside of the mainstream classical composers, albeit not all of it is good.

I have a particular liking for Czerny, Dussek, Woelfl, Pixis & Kalkbrenner, but there a hundreds of others.

The variations Op12 & Op14 by Czerny are gorgeous pieces that i did use to have in my repetoire until i stopped pracitising. The fantasie Effusio Musica by Kalkbrenner is a stunning piece full of excitement, but is of considerable more difficulty than the Czerny. I did try to play it once but gave up a defeated man.

Well tell me, what is wrong with Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven? 

Look into Clementi, not his popular pieces that are taught to young students, those pieces don't even begin to do him justice.  He wrote some very beautiful sonatas.

Are you familiar with Haydn's F minor Variations?  This one of the most beautiful and heartfelt pieces in the literature as far as I'm concerned.  Also check out Mozart's C minor Fantasy, K. 475.  You don't hear these two pieces nearly as often as their sonatas.

C.P.E. Bach would be a nice alternative, check out his sonatas and fantasias.

there's this rondo in c minor by cpe bach. it's quite interesting. unfortunately i don't have a scanner so i can't upload it.

Well.. how well do you play? I can always say "and there is Chopins 4th Ballade" but that's no point of even trying to play, if you haven't got the techniqual abilities

i played beethoven tempest,scriabin sonata 2, and medtner's fairy tale op.14/2..

Well tell me, what is wrong with Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven? 

Nothing, but thankfully there are some people who would like to look further afield as opposed to listening or playing the same pieces repeatedly.

How about the Hummel Rondo---Op. 1 i think?? The Haydn f minor variations is one of my faves. How about Mendelssonh--F# Fantasy
