@dolofonos Is this based on the assumption that all the WTC was intended to be played solely on a harpsichord? Because nothing could be further from the truth. Only some of the songs were meant to be played on a harpsichord, some were clearly intended to be played on the organ, others probably intended for the clavichord or fortepiano. Making the modern piano a perfectly acceptable keyboard choice to play some Bach.

great to see piano and harpsichord versions, thank for sharing. personally i think this one is more suited to harpsichord whereas book 1 no.3 needs piano.

More Lovely Playing. Please keep it up.

Right you are. There's a reason music composed for the harpsichord is structured so. Personally, it pains my ears to hear Bach on the piano (and quite literally as well; something about the harpsichord covers up my tinnitus).

Although i make my fair share of mistakes on the harpsichord, I think the rougher nature of the harpsichord timbre, as well as lack of dynamics, makes the ear naturally cover up some technical errors.
So I think piano is more difficult just because its a clearer instrument with more dynamic range. (at least a good piano)
Working on the prelude and fugue in G major right now from book I coming soon.
