It is clear from your writing that you are in need of a substantive music appreciation course.
But for the harpsichord one wouldn't have had the predicate model for what eventually became the piano.
FReegards!

1. No harpsichord. If you begin to listen to music with a harpsichord, turn it off. The only time a harpsichord is appropriate is in watching reruns of the Addams Family.
2. No Sting. Sting and his music are everything that is wrong with metrosexual men, Europe, and the Left.
I'm not even close to being well schooled on "Sting's" work but he's been involved in at least two things that I enjoy..."Do They Know It's Christmas?" being one of them.
Don’t wear white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day.
I love the harpsichord.
Back later, making Popcorn. :)
Learn the difference between sh*t and Shineola at an early age!
William F. Buckley HAD a harpsichord, and played it for a well-known freeper’s wife when she was on a professional visit and excused herself from the room for a nursing break.
I’ve had Bach’s harpsichord concertos in my music collection for over 35 years. Love um!
But I love Italian Baroqe even more...Albinoni, Boccherini,Corelli, Manfredini, Geminiani etc even more...
Don’t think of yourself first.
baroqe = baroque
sorry...the coffee thing again!
Sorry I disagree and counter with J S Bach's Harpsichord Concerti (BWV 1052-65). I'm going to play them right now.
As for Mr Sting, who is he?

Anything done with a harpsichord can be made better with a piano.
If it ain't "baroque", go fix it.
You remind me of the British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham who once said that the harpsichord sounded like “two skeletons copulating on a corrugated tin roof.”
Although I disagree...
Hillary Clinton, “When Bill and I left the White House we were nearly baroque.”
No way I’m giving up Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos.
