  1. Very nice. And the right tempo. I’m enjoying it a lot.
    I heard it played often by some pianists at my music school. And it was too slow.

  2. During college, I worked at a music store, and I once got to see and briefly play a Neupert harpsichord. Instead of piano hammers, it has picks that pluck the strings when keys are pressed. It doesn’t get louder if you strike the keys harder. That is the advantage of the piano, original name “pianoforte”, Italian for “soft-loud”.
