Edward, I honestly forgot the Opus 11 Toccata is that short; it feels like such a big piece!

Prokofiev's d minor Toccata op. 11 was the first thing to come to mind . . . . . (I listened to it earlier today)

   Easily each one of Bach's Goldberg Variations would qualify

Alfred Schnittke's Minuet for violin, viola & cello. It is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and the conclusion (last 40 seconds or so) is amazing.

I strongly second the mention of Alexander Mosolov's "Zavod" (Iron Foundry). :)

There is also Arthur Honegger's Pacific 231 -- another short and exciting early modernist sort of piece.

the most insane, off the wall, or just plain incredible, under-5-minute-classical-track.

Prokofiev, The Enemy Of God And The Dance Of The Black Spirits from Schythian Suite . . . . . . .

"Le Ronde de Lutins" (The Dance of the Goblins, I believe) - Bazzini. Pretty super violin work!   :)

Rach's prelude in C Sharp Minor!

Watch Gilels in action! Weird Tone in places.

Or his prelude in G Minor!

Gilels again.

Perfect, you could just turn in a blank sheet of paper and tell the teacher she has to imagine the essay in her mind.

Erlkönig, by Schubert.

(It's been on my mind lately...)

But the way it's composed is just so tight - so much variation within the same overall soundworld.
