What are your guys' favorite classical sonatas? i.e. Mozart, Hadyn, Scarlatti (mostly those 3 composers I'm looking at).

I'm going to pick 2 sonatas from 2 separate composers (preferably Mozart and Hadyn) to play in a concert with the Emperor concerto.
My thoughts, so far, are these:

Hadyn c minor sonata
Mozart a minor sonata k310

I'm looking for some other options though as well.

You can try out sonatas by Ries or Woefl.

Woelfl is an excellent suggestion. I have a couple of his sonatas in my rep at the moment. Contemporary to Beethoven, but perhaps closer to Clementi musically.

Czerny wrote some of the finest piano sonatas imaginable. Like a more refined, super smooth, less-of-a-real-a$$hole version of his teacher, Beethoven. But just as devilishly skillful!
