Who wrote music for the harpsichord?
The harpsichord was the central keyboard instrument for secular settings from 1400 to 1780, and all composers who were born and lived during that period would have written their keyboard music for the harpsichord. The last major composers who wrote music for the harpsichord were Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata was written for both harpsichord and fortepiano. The most important composers for the harpsichord were: the English Virginal Composers such as Byrd, Bull, Gibbons, Farnaby, etc.; Frescobaldi, Froberger, Sweelinck, Chambonieres, L. Couperin, D'Anglebert; and of course the greatest being Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, F. Couperin, and Rameau. Most of the music written for the harpsichord since the 18th century is neither as charming, profound, sensible, or fitting to the characteristics of the harpsichord's special qualities. Rather it is merely the overlay of the modern style of music (being Atonal in nature) superimposed on that timbre, which is one reason why most music written in our time for this particular instrument finds so few enthusiasts. By contrast, the earlier styles of music grew out of an understanding of the nature and advantages of the sound of the harpsichords of those times and as such were constructed around the sound peculiar to the harpsichord.

Who invented medievil music?
The word is medieval and you are asking the wrong question. Medieval is an adjective referring to the Middle Ages. Ordinarily, this refers to the period between Ancient Times (before the fall of the Roman Empire in A.D.476) and Modern Times (from the discovery of America in 1492). In music, medieval music begins about A.D.900, when music was first written down on paper, and ends somewhere around 1420, which is usually called the beginning of the Renaissance. So you are asking about all the music that was created in Europe during a period of 500 years. In the early part of this period, chant was composed for the worship of the Catholic Church. In the 12th century church music was composed in polyphony (more than one melodic line sung together). In this same era, troubadours and trouveres wrote songs for secular entertainment. The music of the Middle Ages was mostly vocal and choral music. Instruments were used to play the melodies sometimes.
