        Beethoven's Italian Partsongs WoO99. (They also have a Hess number if you happen to be finicky).

                I've listened to this a good few times and I still can't figure out how it could have been attributed to Beethoven. I know how the musicologists were fooled by an inscription, but it still sounds pure Haydn to me.
                (And not very good Haydn at that because none of the themes stay in my mind. I usually give up listening after the second movement - which makes me a half-witt.)

                  Bach:
                  Sonata BWV 1020
                  Sonata BWV 1031
                  Sonata BWV 1035

                  Telemann:
                  Trio sonata in B-flat major for recorder, harpsichord and basso continuo
                  Trio sonata in F major for recorder, viola da gamba and basso continuo
                  Fantasy No. 1 in C major for solo recorder

                  On a recorder disc with Denis St-Germain (Recorder), Myriam Chabot (Harpsichord), and Sizue Napper (Viola da gamba).

                  Charming works, and the recorder gives a different feel to the Bach sonatas, which I like.

                    Must try that! Hearing mixed-up movements can give you a different slant.

                      It is known that Beethoven had attempted a symphony based on Haydn's no.97 in C and there are also parallels with that work and Witt's Jena symphony.

                          Today:

                          Honegger:
                          Une Cantate de Noël (1953)

                          Schönberg:
                          Weihnachtsmusik (1921)

                          Vaughan Williams:
                          Fantasia on Christmas Carols

                          Pettersson:
                          Symphony no.4 (1959)

                          The latest BBC MM CD : In dulci jubilo,
                          with seasonal repertoire sung by The Choir of Gonville & Caius College.
                          Amazing choice of repertoire –many non-trodden paths- in very nice performances (though some of the soloists are a bit wobbly).

                            Beethoven's secular cantata "The Moment of Glory" (or "The Glorious Moment- whichever you prefer).

                              Do you mind just calling it Der glorreiche Augenblick

                              Not one of his best works, but the sopranosolo with that violin solo is a great moment even by Beethoven's standards. (But that lasts only 4 minutes or so of IIRC in total some 40 minutes)
