I can by pointing out that they'd have to be 20 miniatures, since each
one would have to be an average of 4 minutes long.  The only "best or
well known classical piece" which is also a miniature that I can think
of is Beethoven's 'Fur Elise':  Brendel does it in under 3 minutes.

Of course you could consider abandoning such a project, or redefining your
parameters.
