Double Bass Classical Period Sonata?

[tchaikoffkey]

Hey everyone!
I’m sure some variation of this question pops up all the time (sorry) but for an upcoming performance i need to play a sonata from the classical period, and im hoping that you folks have suggestions for pieces!

the sperger sonatas are cute, but i really, really (please god) don’t want to do another one of them.

unfortunately, the repertoire requirement is very strict- it must be a sonata from the classical period for double bass and piano (transcriptions okay). but things like the dragonetti waltzes or the haydn divertimento are a no go.

i also am boycotting mozart e minor because i just don’t like it haha.

i know there’s not so much repertoire for us, and im being way too picky, but can anyone think of a sonata that might work?

thanks!!!

I had a student do the Beethoven horn/cello sonata, op. 18. Here's an arrangement of it in G for solo tuning, or you can just read the original in F. You'll have to tweak octaves here and there and/or play some passages at cello pitch.
