The vast majority of composers have written something for the piano. Some of those who have written extensively for that instrument are Bax, Chopin, and Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, many Jazz pianists. There is probably more good piano music, solo, ensemble and orchestral (concerti) than any one person could be exposed to in a lifetime.

The Creation
Haydn
Haydn's operas that survive are very, very rarely performed and then usually as curiosities. The link below gives a listing of his operas.
Orchestral symphonies
Several of his last 12 Symphonies (#'s 93-104) commissioned by Salomon. They were composed and performed first in England. Favourites are nos. 94, 95, 96, 101, 102 and 104. Also, one of his pieces was set to words and now is the national anthem of Austria.
Here is a link to both the solo part, the orchestral score, and the piano reduction. http://imslp.org/wiki/Cello_Concerto,_Hob_VIIb:1,_C_Major_(Haydn,_Joseph)
It is based on the bible - more specifically Genesis.
Joseph Haydn's "Mass in Time of War," also known as the "Paukenmesse" (Hob. XXII:11), typically lasts about 25 to 30 minutes when performed in its entirety. The mass, composed in 1796, features a blend of traditional liturgical elements with dramatic orchestral and choral parts, reflecting the tumultuous context of its creation during the Napoleonic Wars. Performance times can vary slightly depending on the conductor's interpretation and the specific arrangement.
Haydn's Symphony No. 104, also known as the "London Symphony," is a work for a full symphony orchestra, not a chamber orchestra. It features a standard orchestral layout typical of the Classical period, including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The symphony showcases Haydn's orchestration skills and is characterized by its dynamic contrasts and thematic development.
