Donald Macleod draws alongside JS Bach as he travels from place to place throughout his life, today arriving at the city of Weimar.

Bach first worked in Weimar as a court musician at the age of 18. He moved on again after seven months, to take up a church appointment in nearby city of Arnstadt, but he returned to Weimar again five years later, as court organist and later also concertmaster. It was in Weimar that Bach would write most of his organ music. But his time there was compounded by the fact that he found himself in the uncomfortable position of being a servant to two antagonistic Dukes. Bach had his work cut out trying to keep his two Dukes happy.
