Everyone has a favourite calssical piece they just often don't know it.

I second the medieval troubadours and throw in the Minnesanger Nidhart von Reuenthal as well.
Apart from that some of my favourites are:
The lute fantasies of Valentin Greff Bakfark.
The canzoni and concerti of Adam Jarzebski.
The suites from Banchetto Musicale by Johann Herman Schein.
Kleine geistlichen Konzerten by Heinrich Schütz.
Harpsichord concerto in D minor, BWV 1052 by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Sonata a 2 by Stanislaw Sylwester Szarcynski.
Symphonies nr. 48 and 50 by Christian Cannabich.
Concerto for harpsichord and obo in F major by Leopold Hoffman.
Concerto nr.1 for cello in C major by Joseph Haydn.
Symphonies nr.22, 44, 45, 48, 49 and 60 by Joseph Haydn.
Piano Concerto nr. 24 in C minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Virtually anything by Fryderyk Chopin.
Piano concerto in D flat major by Christian Sinding.

If I had to chose one, I would probably go with Bakfark.

Sorry No ZIP! I don't play the organ, I think only Ganesh could really do the instrument justice as he has four arms :) I dabled with keyboards as a child but never seriously.

Thanks for that list Luceafarul I'll have to check them out.
