This is an area I've exploring a bit when I'm not yelling "FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-" over some new blues piece. I'm still not over knowledgeable, I'll admit, but here's a few things I've found that aren't entirely "obvious" or "famous."
I love the seemingly infinite variations on the same theme Paganini used on this one:
I honestly don't much care for Mozart, I'm finding. He does these amazing quiet parts, then covers it in grandiose horns and strings. I just can't do it. Calm down, Sparky.
This is very famous, but it's still just amazing.
Fur Elise hasn't aged well for me, by the way.
The real point of this is to play this, though. Read up on Shostakovich here:

And listen to this amazing piece. It was meant to be his musical suicide note.
