Dancerina posted this question, I tried to answer it, but I couldn't get through.
I noticed that there were no other answers posted.
So I'm going to try it this way.

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.
