Since humanity were created this way, God must have a keyboard instrument in mind. :tiphat:

 

Such kind words, that means more than you know. Thank you!

I love the sound of the harpsichord. I think it's a wonderful instrument in its own right and deserves to be treated like more than just a vestige of the Baroque period, like De Falla's harpsichord concerto.

 

I prefer the clavichord or lute-harpsichord (Lautenwerck). The sound of the harpsichord seems too "icy" to me.
Or even this, which was brought up on the forum before:

 

The harpsichord and its relatives make Bach's music "live" as if the great master is playing it in front of you.

I posted this in another thread but I guess I can repeat it here:

am thinking of rewriting all my own music to sound good on the Harpsichord

What does something like that entail?

 

Editing the melody and dynamics of a given piece. But, I may just keep them as piano works. It's prettier that way imo!

 

This one (supposedly based on a theme by Torelli) is one of my favorites, it's very exciting to play too;

Supposedly? That's only rumors, when the theme by Torelli isn't identified for certain.

 

I also LOVE the sound of the harpsichord.

 

I happen to love Bach as well, but my two favorite Harpsichord pieces (which are quite humble and simple pieces... and are sublime for that reason) were actually written by F. Couperin... his most famous one, and a less famous one (once erroneously thought to be a Bach composition ... BWV Anh. 183)
