| | Weimar2 1708-1707 |
 | | Weimar, uneasily governed by no fewer than two dukes, was now governed by the formadible looking duke Wilhem Ernst (picture on the left) and since 1709 also by his nephew and successor of Johann Ernst, Ernst August (smaller picture on the right). |
 | | Another indication of Bach's growing fame is the anecdote of the contest with the famous French court keyboard virtuoso Louis Marchand (1669-1732). |
 | | Bach wrote most of his major organ compositions in Weimar, for instance, the Orgel-Büchlein, all but the last of the so-called eighteen "Great" chorale preludes, and most of the preludes and fugues. |
