The title says it all. I have this much to spend on itunes music. Are there any single movement pieces that anyone recommends? Name anything; it will probably be on itunes (they have LOTS of stuff). I can't decide what might be worth my hard-earned money. :(
since you don't have much money left, you could try some "light" pieces:
Charles Koechlin "Épitaphe de Jean Harlow, Op. 164"
Ziehrer's "Wenn Man Geld Hat, Ist Man Fein!, Marsch, Op.539"
Robert Stolz's "Operetten: Gruß Aus Wien Op. 898"
Robert Stolz's "Operetten: Im Prater Blüh'n Wieder Die Bäume"
Robert Fuchs's "twelve waltzes #3"
Elgar
Gustav presents some good stuff, you could also consider something that comes in only two parts - several Beethoven sonatas come to mind, or the Toccata and Fugue in D minor (Julia Brown). If you're a romantic, a good pairing is Grieg's "Funeral March for Rikard Nordraak" and "The Wedding Procession Passes By," well-presented on a recent disc by conductor Bjarte Engeset and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Or you could try something long-ish by Liszt, like the Dante Sonata. Of course, you probably have all this stuff already, but ... I dunno.

Itunes doesn't have $0.99 songs that are over 6 minutes, I think. At least, I couldn't find any. :(

I think Valse Triste is under 6 minutes.
