The Bb duo and the Eb duo of Anton Stadler is quite good--especially the Bb.
If you have ever played some of Stadler's other music you may doubt this--
but have faith. The Crussel works by the way--very fine indeed. I have
string quartet accompaniments for some of the movements--also Musica Rara
have now published a piano acc for two of the movements of the CM duo.
Kjell-Inge Stevensson has recorded some of this on Bis.

The works of Joseph Kuffner--while not terribly difficult are certainly
worth the time. (Sorry--not wanting to start a discussion of "Does it have
to be difficult to be good?--just a comment)
