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?

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
