Great composers of the day, such as Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) and Domenico Scarlatti (1685 - 1757), took full advantage of the tone and technical abilities of the harpsichord and contributed a wealth of music, much of which has survived down to our day.
Tādi izcili tālaika komponisti kā Johans Sebastiāns Bahs (1685. — 1750.) un Domeniko Skarlati (1685. — 1757.) prasmīgi izmantoja šī instrumenta tembrālās un tehniskās iespējas un radīja virkni nozīmīgu skaņdarbu, no kuriem daudzi tiek atskaņoti vēl šodien.
