Weimar (1708–1717)
Bach returned to Weimar as organist to the ducal court there; in 1714 he was promoted to the new position of concertmaster. As such he apparently presided over performances in the court’s distinctive chapel. The presence of two reigning dukes at Weimar led to conflicts; Bach was initially favored by the senior ruling duke but was passed over for promotion to Capellmeister and even jailed prior to his dismissal. Nevertheless, during these years Bach composed many of his great organ and vocal works, also becoming a notable teacher. He also saw the birth of his first children, including the future composers W. F. and C. P. E. Bach.
