In 1731, C. P. E. Bach enrolled at the University of Leipzig to study law. Three years later, he left Leipzig to continue his studies at the University of Frankfurt (Oder), where he also worked as a harpsichordist, harpsichord teacher and conductor. His first compositions date back to this time, although later on he appeared to have a low opinion of these early works, judg
