Classical era piano pieces
The Classical era (roughly 1750 to 1830) gave the piano its first great repertoire: Haydn's and Mozart's sonatas, Beethoven's bagatelles and the early sonatas, and the teaching sonatinas that still fill student books. Expect clear melodies over an accompanying left hand, balanced phrases and plenty of scales and broken chords.
