Continuum for harpsichord, Gyorgy Ligeti

My piano professor remarked that she can never tell when she was hitting a wrong note on the harpsichord because all she hears is the percussive attack, and it made me realize, “Ligeti’s Continuum is the only useful reason for the harpsichord’s existence.”

And maybe Bach’s F minor harpsichord concerto? And Gorecki’s harpsichord concerto

Lies. The harpsichord is flawless and should be heard more often.
