I can't get through with my answer to Dancerina's question, so I'll try it this way.

The shortest Classical era sonata is supposed to be a Sonata in a minor by Carlos de Seixas. It is 71 measures long and lasts 1 minute 40 seconds. It can be found at:

Kastner, Santiago, ed.
Cravistas portugezes, 2 vol., p. 11
Mainz: B. Schott's Sohne
1935, 1950

That might be hard to find, though.

Here is a single-movement sonatina which I composed:

Change the 1 to 2-4 for subsequent pages.

Here are some goodies by Domenico Alberti, after whom the "Alberti bass" is named:

Change the 1 to 2-9 for subsequent pages.

Change the 1s to 2s-10s for subsequent pages.

The Clementi sonatinas are pretty short, and fun to play as well.

Sonatina means "little sonata" or "little piece" and is not necessarily 1-1/2 to 2 minutes long, but they do tend to be short little one pages pieces. Mozart and Beethoven wrote sonatinas. Is it a trick question, because the title of the pieces are just "Sonatina"?

Try looking at some Kuhlau or Clementi. Yeah, they're not the greatest composers ever, but they probably have pieces that fall within your time requirements.
