Most of the 20th and 21st century music for harpsichord that I have performed is included in the lists above, as well as a few works that I have not yet performed in public. Not included are some ensemble music with an idiosyncratic instrumentation for a particular ensemble (Ensemble Ambrosius, for instance), some arrangements, and regular harpsichord parts in orchestral works.
