Tzschirich came to study in Leipzig in 1729, and became a lawyer in Bitterfeld in 1736. Johann Benjamin Tzschirich was a student in Grimma when he started to copy harpsichord pieces collected by Krause in an album in 1726. Heinrich Raphael Krause was a student in Leipzig from 1720, before becoming cantor in Olbernhau in 1725. A collection of 25 concertos for unaccompanied harpsichord by Petzold was copied as Recueil des XXV Concerts Pour le Clavecin.Georg Philipp Telemann included a harpsichord suite by Petzold in the last five issues of Der getreue Music-Meister.Some of Petzold's harpsichord music appeared in 1729 collections: In Johann Gottfried Walther's Lexicon, published in 1732, Petzold is mentioned as a composer of "good keyboard pieces" ( German: gute. Petzold's harpsichord music įrom the early 1720s Petzold owned a state-of-the-art harpsichord manufactured by Silbermann. īach likely intended the simple binary dances contained in Anna Magdalena's notebooks, including the Minuets entered without composer indication, as teaching material, likely rather for his younger children than for his wife. These pieces may have been brought back from Dresden by Johann Sebastian when he visited this city in September 1725. Petzold's Minuets in G major and G minor, BWV Anh. 114 and 115, are the next two entries in the notebook (Nos. 4 and 5). No. 3, the first piece after the two seven-movement Partitas, is a Minuet in F major by an unknown composer (likely not Bach), adopted as No. 113 in the second annex ( German: Anhang, Anh.), that is the annex of doubtful compositions, in the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV). Nos. 3 to 11 in the notebook are keyboard pieces written down by Anna Magdalena, likely shortly after she was given the volume. Anna Magdalena Bach likely received the notebook from her husband in the autumn of 1725, as a present for either her birthday (22 September) or their wedding anniversary (3 December). It opened with two harpsichord suites, that is, the Partitas BWV 827 and 830, composed and written down by Johann Sebastian Bach. The second Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach was started in 1725. Petzold died in 1733: as organist of the Sophienkirche he was succeeded by Bach's son Wilhelm Friedemann. Bach gave a concert on that organ when he visited Dresden in September 1725. In 1720, Petzold composed the music for the inauguration of the new Silbermann organ of the Sophienkirche. By the time Johann Sebastian Bach started to visit Dresden, Petzold was well acquainted with several of the city's musicians, including the violinist Johann Georg Pisendel, with whom Bach was also acquainted. In the late 17th century Christian Petzold became organist at the Sophienkirche ( lit. 1.1 In the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.
