Harpsichord Towards the Piano

«Verso» or «versus»?

To tell you, I need to know the differences, what are they? That way I can then tell you what I meant...

I checked, I think "versus"

http://dizionari.cor.../V/versus.shtml

but "verso" (towards) can also be relevant to the topic, without seeing an antagonism between instruments ... in fact ...

but I had to swap the subjects... oh well

The reason is not clear to me, but on the piano those chords sound less dissonant and more motivated (let's say that on the harpsichord they almost sound like clusters).

As far as the comparison regarding harmonic audacity goes ... of Bach, one could cite the Fantasia in the "Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue" BWV 903

Regarding harmonic clusters, I cite 2 works: the fugue in B-flat minor from the first book of the WTC for Bach and Scarlatti's Cat Fugue (perhaps more audacious than Berg's sonata and even that of a certain Schoenberg) which frankly I do not understand. Clearly a limitation of mine and thinking about it carefully, I vote for Scarlatti (at least regarding the harmony).

Well, "verso" means "that goes towards," so your topic title would be "The harpsichord leads to the piano," whereas "versus," in Latin, means "against," "in opposition to," so the topic would be "The harpsichord versus the piano." I believe that the meaning of the title (even reading what you wrote) is the second one, so without a doubt "versus."

Perhaps because the harpsichord is not tuned with the tempered system while the piano is...

I know there aren't just these two musicians

In fact, I am also pointing out these harmonic daringness
