The collection has its roots in a meeting between Bach and Frederick II on May 7, 1747. The meeting, taking place in the king''s residence in Potsdam, resulted from Bach''s son Carl Philipp Emanuel being employed there as court musician. Frederick wanted to show the elder Bach a novelty: the piano had been invented some years earlier, and the king now owned several of the experimental instruments being developed by Gottfried Silbermann.
