This is a very delicate composition, where the flute and oboe share the treble part. The voice of the harpsichord is not at all neglected, we can hear it in some sections.
Muzikay This was written in about 1780 or 1782, when both instruments were written for and played in concerts. The harpsichord had dominated the 1760's and 70's, when the piano came along, they were parallels, until the piano took over in probably about 1790. Notice that the sonatas and trios and other pieces of the time don't say harpsichord or piano they just say keyboard because you could play it on either one.
Muzikay This work has an obbligato keyboard part, not an old-fashioned basso continuo; the keyboard writing is idiomatic fortepiano writing, not harpsichord writing. The music demands the nuances of a touch the more modern keyboard instrument, and it is better served by performance with a fortepiano.

Such joyous music!
So wonderful.
Realmente bueno...
It's obviously a harpsichord, not a piano. I guess some people have played it on a piano, but that's not what the score says.

John Kiunke The original score expressly calls for "Cembalo", that is, harpsichord.
Pianoforte - predates the piano a bit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortepiano
No - was written for either - here is the facesheet: imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP652719-JC_Bach_Op.22.pdf
