Was the harpsichord only used as an accompanying instrument in opera in the 16th century?
In the 16th century, the harpsichord was primarily used as a continuo instrument in Opera, providing harmonic support and accompaniment. However, it was also capable of playing solo passages and complex counterpoint, allowing it to contribute more than just accompaniment. Its role evolved over time, and while it was often used alongside other instruments and voices, it was not limited to merely supporting them.
