One week? Not a lot of time...

How about No.6 in D minor or No.21 in Bb major from Book I.

try no5 in D major from book I. F major from book one is only two pages long, and the g minor has a fairly easy prelude.

How many instruments or instrument combinations has the WTC been arranged for?  Mozart made some string trio arrangements, the Swingle Singers sang them, people play some in guitar ensembles, anything else interesting?
