Bach harpsichord piano music classical Baroque thesis Frederic Chopin Academy of Music Warsaw Poland comparison compare comparing performance performing perform Partita forum

HELP NEEDED!

I am a student at the Frederic Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw (Poland)
and I am writing a thesis on the following subject:

"Comparison of performing Bach music on piano and harpsichord
based on the example of 6th Partita in E-minor BWV830"

and I would like to request your help in finding useful resources.

If you know any web-based resources, links, sites, recordings, texts, essays etc. that seem to refer in some way to the subject of my thesis please let me know. I would be especially grateful for information on all of the following issues, with priority given to the last three:

  1. early keyboard instruments - their tone, mechanism, keyboard, other features
  2. harpsichord - (features as mentioned above)
  3. piano - (features as mentioned above), use of pedal
  4. re-discovery of Bach music in 19th century
  5. restitution of harpsichord performance in 19th century
  6. great harpsichordists - 19th, 20th, 21st century
  7. great pianists - especially performing Bach (and Baroque) music; 19th, 20th, 21st century
  8. ornaments, repetitions, registers, tempo, dynamics
  9. mutual inspiration: harpsichord <=> piano
  10. interesting recordings of Bach keyboard music (esp. 6th keyboard Partita in E-minor S.830) on piano and harpsichord
    11.
