In his obituary of his father, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach declared Johann Sebastian to have been the greatest organist and clavier player that we have ever had. Many contemporaries admired Bach's virtuosity on the organ and on the clavier, the word that was used to describe the harpsichord or the clavichord until well into the 18th century. But whereas numerous documents have come down to us describing Bach's abilities as an organist, his harpsichord playing is rarely mentioned. For a long time, this aspect of his artistry was known only to the court in Weimar and Cöthen, to the members of his own immediate family and to his circle of pupils. His planned contest with the French harpsichordist Louis Marchand was not intended to be held in public but in the exclusive setting of the court of the Elector of Saxony in any case, the contest did not take place as Bach's rival fled the city before it could be held. It was not until he settled in Leipzig that Bach appeared before a larger public, when he organized concerts with the student Collegium Musicum between 1729 and the early 1740s.
