I can play the prelude - although I usually choose harpsichord or pipe
organ rather than piano. And yes, it's a rather interesting piece. (I'm
rather less keen on the fugue.)
Given that it's prelude #1 from the WTC, I guess the authorship is
relatively certain. (Although some guy told me it's not in the baroque
style - like I'd know the difference...)

Now the harpsichord is something I do like the sound of. (Although
obviously, it depends on what you play with it...)

I'm sure it's really, really hard to play. It just doesn't sound
particularly pleasing to the ear.
