Yes, Das Orgelbüchlein was designed to be an educational tool for young and upcoming Organists so once again we will explore it. Thankfully for those with a limited attention span most of the works are very compact. Below we have BWV 600, and 601.

BWV 600 “Gott, durch deine Güte, One of the most difficult chorale preludes in “Das Orgelbüchlein”, BWV 600 (also named by Bach himself “Gottes Sohn ist kommen”, thus associated with Christmas), is, according to Russell Stinson, one of the middle chorales of the collection. It is written as a canon at the octave [between the Tenor (on the pedals) and the Soprano (in the upper fingers os the right hand)], with the Bass part played by the left hand, while Alto is heard, with the Soprano, in the rignt hand. BWV 600 is the only composition in “O.B.” exhibiting registration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW7j_wQgdKI

BWV 601 Herr Christ, der ein’ge Gottes-Sohn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Clebi5Kc9Uc

OK I’m adding this just because the video is cool as s~~~: Especially when Bach smacks the kid in the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ep9wONkU2c
