I need a piece that I can learn in two weeks relatively easy. What would you recommend? I am around grade 7-8.

hmm...two weeks...

you might want to try a mozart sonata (k533 and k576 are a bit too tough though) or

Schubert Impromptu in Ab (op.90, No.4). yeah, that's barely a 7 and its sounds very pleasant.  yeah, thats a good one.

another good one is Debussy's clair de lune

I would say that Debussy's clair de lune is harder than what he asking for. I would choose Beethoven's Op. 49, either one. But, I like number two more, great sonata.

I think you would really Mozart's Sonata in F Major k. 332, I call it the jazzy sonata.

god i wouldn't learn a sonata, find something short. chopin waltz in f minor op.70 no.2 is easy to learn- i did it for my grade 8 exam and had it at some performable level within a month cos it just repeats itself- hence thanks to his wonderful obsession with repeating everything chopin is great to learn in a short period of time!

how long is the piece meant to be?
