Then harpsichords have no soul and Bach would like to have a word with you.

It is known that Bach improvised about his works during performances. That means he even left the written notes.

A harpsichord pretty much fails your "test" for "instruments with souls".

why?

[bane]

I told you two comments ago, you also don't have any reading comprehension. Do you know what a harpsichord is and how it works?

[john61]

Timing is the most important thing in Music according to Mozart. Are you trying to say that a harpsichord does not allow variations of timing?
