  The choice is very, very difficult, I have so many of them. They
  are all by Bach:
  Passacaglia & Fugue in c
  Prelude and Fugue in b
  Choral prelude "Schmuecke dich, o liebe Seele"
  Choral prelude "Wo soll ich fliehen hin" (2nd in the Schuebler chorales)

  All these I could listen several times a day.
