For anyone searching - I've finally found it: The piece at 6:12 is from the Antwerpener Tanzbuch (Chorearum Molliorum Collectanea, 1583) by Pierre Phalèse and is called Gaillarde Mais pourqoy. So far, I've only found a recording with an arrangement for multiple instruments, not for solo harpsichord.

The harpsichord doesn’t have dynamics since it plucks the strings and they always give under the same amount of tension, so you can’t change the volume by hitting the key harder or softer. You can see at 4:49 he pulls they key down very slowly and it still sounds at full volume. You might be thinking, “but you can adjust dynamics on a guitar and that’s plucked”, but it works there because you can adjust the position of your finger. On a harpsichord, the jacks are locked into only moving vertically. The piano replaced the jacks with hammers which allows you you have dynamics. But the clavichord strikes the strings with tangents, so it has dynamics too. The name pianoforte (later shortened to piano) comes from the fact that the instrument can play piano and forte which the harpsichord can’t

I meant that the colors were reverse of what we have today. The (currently) white keys would have been made from black ebony wood hundreds of years ago. My reasoning was incorrect tho, they actually swapped the colors because the black keys (currently white) were too hard to differentiate with the black gap between them. Making those keys white highlighted the gap, making them easier to play. And no, I dont get high anymore :)

Thanks for a set of great presentations. I appreciate the comparison of the fortepiano to the clarinet. You are right. I just never made the connection. Also, thanks for the comparison to the guitar at several points in your presentation. Lutes and guitars are some of the oldest string instruments we know, so the connection to the keyboard instruments is inescapable (but the history of plucked instruments and their connection forward seems to have eluded many musicians and historians. King Louis XIV was a guitarist, for example. One should think, therefore, that guitar music from that time would provide a source for understanding the performance of French baroque music.) As a guitarist, I always assumed that the change in sound intensity when pushing the instrument was an inferiority, compared to the modern piano. I need to rethink that. Thank you!

If I might make a couple of clarifications: Actually, the earliest stringed keyboard instrument known is the hurdy-gurdy; it has been depicted since the 12th century, whereas the earliest possible references to the clavichord are from the 14th century. Additionally, there is a more direct ancestor of the piano known from the 15th century: the "dulce melos", or keyed dulcimer, described in the manuscript of Henri Arnault van Zwolle ...
