Extremely broad-based question but I'll try; I assume by "styles" you're not referring to actual idiom changes/transitions within the piece itself. For classical, the "Theme and Variation" solo/format, within your skill level might get the best/quickest results.

I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for. Any multi movement work has contrasts between the movements in terms of "color" or "feel" due to diferences in tempi, (perhaps) key, stylistic techniques such as dynamics, articulation etc. Listen to the Mozart concerto movements 1 & 2.

If, however, you are looking for contrasting musical styles, then you need to choose 2 works from diferent periods or types of music, ie. classical and romantic, or romantic and contemporary. A work by Mozart (classical) would certianally contrast stylistically with one by Debussey (late romantic) or Copland (contemporary.) One could also contrast Copland with Artie Shaw, though they lived and wrote at the same time.

Hope this is of some help.
