We show that in classical mechanics the momentum may depend only on the coordinates and can thus be considered as a field. We formulate a special Lagrangian formalism as a result of which the momenta satisfy differential equations which depend only on the coordinates. The solutions correspond to all possible trajectories. As a bonus the Hamilton-Jacobi equation results in a very simple way.
