Bach

Enjoying music on harpsichord can be hard at first, our ears are no longer accustomed to it. Try some famous pieces by Bach on a spinet - a great performance, and very accessible. It begins with the lovely 'Prelude Fugue No. 1 in C Major' [BWV 846] which opens Bach's famous The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1.
