Subj: WW5 music in a jiffy

Hi!

I have recently been assigned to a WW5, and we want to
enter a chamber music competition affiliated with our school.

The problem is, the competition is in a little over 2 weeks. We need
1/2 hr of music, from contrasting style periods. We can play single
movements
of pieces, in order to have the best variety. Due to the time frame, we
are searching
for good, yet easy to learn quintets.

The group is comprised of graduate students and upperclass undergraduates
mainly, and the level of playing is very high. We learn fast, but we
don't want to be overwhelmed.

Any suggestions? Or tips of music to stay away from?
