They feel much closer to organ keys but a bit more tactile due to the sensation of the plectra plucking the strings. They don't require any arm or body weight. All the motion for striking a key is limited to the fingers so it feels sort of like typing. If I were to play a piano as lightly as a harpsichord you'd hear nothing. Haha. We also tend to use much different fingerings, especially in older music from the medieval and renaissance where we barely use our thumbs and play scales with patterns such as 3434 and 3232. But with Bach we use more modern fingerings since he's so difficult.
And yes, all classical musicians dress like Lurch actually.
It's the last two pages of a fugue from a sonata. It was intended for either harpsichord or clavichord. It also exists as the very famous solo violin sonata in A minor. Bach later made this arrangement for keyboard.
Ah the clavichord option explains it Nice! Yes I know the transscribed violin sonatas but I don't know them by heart of course. Yeah, I'm getting ready to do a concert mostly of his transcribed works.

Splendid. Will there be audio for us? 
I'm still a complete dilettante working on counterpoint I. My dream is one day being able to play a partita, but that is in the faaar future.

Here's me today playing the ending of a Bach fugue I'm currently learning. It's a little out of tune right now. Didn't have time to tune it today. And my phone's mic sucks (sounds much better in person).
I enjoyed that. You earned a cup of tea, Earl Grey hot of course.

I was perusing through my old senior yearbook and thought that I'd share my senior picture here (I was 18 in this photo). It just might give you all a good laugh: I was quite a dork at 18 (I still am though); I was also a bit on the chubby side too, but I was still in good shape and could max out on all of the pt tests at my military school. Well here it is
