Bach was now placed in singularly favourable circumstances for the cultivation of his art and the development of his genius. The Grand Duke's genuine and intelligent appreciation of church music in its highest forms encouraged and stimu- lated him in the composition of cantatas and of works for the organ alone. In beauty some of the cantatas written during this period were unsur- passed by any of his later works, while the Weimar organ compositions, and his own performance of them, stamped him ...as the greatest organ writer and organ player who had ever lived. The duty of regularly composing secular music for the Grand Duke's orchestra gave Bach the impulse which was all that was needed to set him developing his powers of orchestral composition. Artistic tours undertaken from time to time enabled him to exhibit before enthusiastic audiences his unrivalled powers on the organ, and on the pianoforte of which he was also the greatest master of his time. BACH AND MARCHAND. 2"J One of these tours brought him into personal rivalry with an able and distinguished, but ex- tremely vain and arrogant, Parisian organist and pianist, Louis Marchand.
