Repertoire discussion

Johann Sebastian Bach among with William Byrd, Robert Schumann & Edvard Grieg is my personal favorite composer(s). Unfortunately my current Johann Sebastian Bach repertoire isnt as vast as id like. What i can play from Johann Sebastian Bach by far is hes "Aria" from the "Goldberg Variations", the Contrapunctus number one from "The art of the Fugue" and hes Fugue from "WTC.2 BWV.878". Id be thankfull for any suggestions that you would have so i can enlarge my repertoire. :)

Is technical difficulty an obstacle? I would suggest French suites particularly the b minor, g major or d minor they're not especially difficult and consist of multiple small movements with contrasting characters; fun to play and study.
Setlist:

Beethoven Op 14/2
CPE Bach Sonata H. 106
Brahms Op. 117

Why not try some of the variations from the Goldberg set, more P&Fs from the WTC, the 2 and 3 Part Inventions, the English and French suites, the Italian Concerto, the Anna Magdalana Notebook, the 18 Little Preludes....... :D
