>One of my very favorite all time movies is Amadeus.
It's a good film, but poor Salieri must have turned in his grave. He was actually quite a good composer! Most composers were/are less skilled than Mozart but that's not to say they're bad.
A nice bit of Antonio Salieri:

Some of the other lesser known Classical era composers I like are J.Quantz, CPE Bach and Luigi Boccherini.
Quantz most famous, and extremely charming flute concerto:

Boccherini's Fandango: (here transcribed for 2 harpsichords, there are many wonderful versions of this piece)

And then CPE Bach, a then popular Classical composer and one of JS Bach's 500 children ;)

And for bedtime. Not Classical, but Baroque. Arcangelo Corelli's sublime Op. 6, No. 4. Unsurpassed beauty.
