Really, Jenn. I find Bach "prissy" played on the harspichord; it takes
a piano to demonstrate the true virility of his music. Yes, he wrote
for the harpsichord, but I always imagine him thinking, "Wish they had
something better than this. Something that makes a real clang rather
than this pathetic tinkle." Each to his own, I guess.
