Is Harpsichord more difficult to play and learn compared to Piano?

Can a pianist play the harpsichord well just like a violinist playing the cello ?

Just wondering if perhaps harpsichord is harder than piano, in terms of dynamics, control of articulation.I was just looking through the Piano exam syllabus and the Bach Italian Concerto was in the Grade 8 exam syllabus for Piano, whereas the same Bach Italian Concerto is in the Syllabus for Harpsichord Diploma Exams. The same goes with the French Suites.

Anyone knows why is this?

Learn how to play piano: Lesson #34 Hanon

In this lesson, I talk about the Pro’s and con’s of hanon exersizes. I also go over my person favorite exersizes for beginners in hanon. Some info on the man behind the book: Charles-Louis Hanon (July 2, 1819–March 19, 1900) was a French piano pedagogue and composer. He is most well known for his work The Virtuoso Pianist In 60 Exercises which has become part of the standard method for modern piano teachers. Abby Whiteside (1881-1956) Did not like the Hanon method and advocated use of arm technique. If you’d like to download hanon Here’s some links for you sheetmusicarchive.net www.amazon.com Also!
