Phillip Sear plays a study in classical style by the French composer Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy (c1802-80)

This is one of three Duvernoys represented in my channel.  Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy (c1802-80) was a French pianist, composer and teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, who is best known for his Elementary Studies, Op. 176, which are still in print and used today.   This piece comes from an 1872 set of studies, designed for players with small hands (which does not equate to 'easy').  They must have seemed quite anachronistic when published, as they are far closer to the style of Cramer than to Brahms or Liszt - but remember that when Duvernoy was born, Haydn was still active.
