Oh, the harpsichord is a great instrument. Not just for Bach (which is only SO painful on the piano), but for all the wonderful 17th-century music too (which is impossible on the equally-tuned piano).

Here's Bach's daddy - I mean, JJ Froberger. Back when the suite had usually four movements with the weighty sarabande at the end.

I :grimlins: this suite:

Here another Froberger harpsichord suite I like very much:

The English virginalists rank among my favourite harpsichord composers, notably Byrd, Bull, Gibbons and Tomkins.

Froberger is my favorite 'French' composer for harpsichord. The music of those 'virginalists' sounds particularly good on stacked virginals.
