one-piece composers

After evensong for dedication festival we had an organ recital where requests were played. One piece was Pachelbel’s Ciacona in D minor, which set me thinking that it is unfair that Pachelbel is thought of as a one-piece composer, as it was just as good as his more famous Canon. And what other worthwhile music is there by other ‘one-piece’ composers?

(Incidentally, if you want to hear Pachelbel’s Canon played in lots of different temperaments, some deeply warped, try this page).
