Bach v Handel

Any opinions please on which piece out of JCP Bach's Allegretto in F and Handel's Allemande in A minor is best in terms of piano musicianship to learn.

You must mean JC*F Bach..
Why not learn both?.. They require similar skills, though i think the Handel is a better piece of music..

Thanks for the response, yes it is JCF as you say.

I am doing a Grade 5 mock and have to choose between one of these pieces. I was leaning towards the Handel but a friend suggested that the Bach was less technically challenging hence my question. I think that I will stick with the Allemande as it is a nicer piece of music.
