Impressive!
Could it be one of the very last pieces for the harpsichord?

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

no. the harpsichord has been commonly played (to a lesser extend) up till about the second half of the 19th century. A lot of people by that time still had harpsichords at home they inherited. Harpsichords never actually went away entirely. In the big manor and estate houses in the UK during musical evenings it was quite normal for pianists to first perform a few pieces on the harpsichord.
There is no such thing as "last piece for harpsichord" Since the instrument never suddenly vanished and music has been written for it till this very day.
