@BOUNTY28170 RELAX, PLEASE, DEAR CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK!!!! I UNDERSTOOD YOUR POINT VERY WELL!!!!

AN ENERGETIC AND ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE. WELL DONE. TO THE QUESTION ABOUT KEY SIGNATURE AND TUNING: HARPSICHORDS ARE GENERALLY TUNED SUCH THAT MIDDLE A = 415HZ WHEREAS PIANOS ARE TUNED WITH A= 440 HZ. THIS HALF STEP LOWER PITCH REFLECTS TWO THINGS: THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HARPSICHORD IS ALL WOOD. THE TENSION ON THE STRINGS IS MATERIALLY LOWER THAN THAT APPLIED TO A PIANO WITH ITS STEEL FRAME. SECOND, A LOWER REFERENCE PITCH IS CORRECT FOR ANCIENT INSTRUMENTS FROM THE BAROQUE ERA.

@laiholapso Thanks very much! Yes I enjoy having the talent of absolute pitch, a thing only about 1 out of 10.000 people have. :)

@GyveTurckee You are probably right in all you are saying, and maybe "tuned wrong" weren't the best words, all I wanted to say was that I could hear that in wasn't preciously C major - if you compare it to my video with me playing
I am severely envious of your harpsichord
