"Piggies" is a song by the English rock band #theBeatles from their 1968 album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). Written by #GeorgeHarrison as a #socialCommentary, the song serves as an #Orwellian satire on greed and consumerism. Among several elements it incorporates from #classicalMusic, the track features #harpsichord and #orchestralStrings in the #baroquePop style, which are contrasted by Harrison's acerbic lyrics and the sound of grunting pigs.

Tim Andrews a.k.a Chris Andrews SONG OF THE WEEK: Tiny Goddess” https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/tiny-goddess

"There You Go" is a song by American singer #Pink from her debut studio album, #CantTakeMeHome (2000). It was co-written by Pink, #KevinShekspereBriggs, and #KandiBurruss and was produced by Briggs, while Burruss produced the vocals. "There You Go" is a sassy, playful, and jittery R&B track with slinky instrumentation led by #harpsichord-#synthesizers. Based on personal experiences, the uptempo song is about a bad relationship that the protagonist has ended.

I’ve heard better versions but at 0:14 and 0:21 I hear the wind blowing. Is that the Harpsichord?

"The first single from Mahan Esfahani's survey of Book 1 of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier: this lyrical Prelude in F minor, BWV857, is written in the style of an allemande and comes at the mid-point in Book 1.
Here, Mahan plays on a double-manual German harpsichord built by Huw Saunders, the instrument being a modern-day copy of an instrument that is thought to have belonged to Bach himself."

#Harpsichord ca. 1650 by #JanCouchet the Elder, grandson of the famed Flemish keyboard maker Hans #Ruckers, carried on the Ruckers tradition, inheriting the workshop of Ruckers's eldest son in 1643.

This harpsichord originally had only one keyboard and one set each of unison and octave strings. In the 18thC the case was lengthened and a 2nd keyboard and a 2nd set of unison strings were added...

Randomly found this excellent, not perfect, garage recording of Bach keyboard concerto D minor BWV 1052 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QakOXpUVApU

Quintessential emotionally excellent “good playing” that hasn’t been edited to perfection by modern recording techniques
