Christian Pezold [Petzold]
(Königstein, 1677 - Dresden, 2 June 1733)

German organist and composer. Records describe him as organist at the Dresden court in 1697. From 1703 he was organist at the Sophienkirche in Dresden, and in 1720 he wrote a cantata for the consecration of the Silbermann organ recently built there; it was first performed by the Dresden Kreuzkirche choir. In 1709 he was appointed court chamber composer and organist. Concert journeys took him to Paris in 1714, and to Venice in 1716. He also wrote a piece for the consecration of the Silbermann organ in Rötha, near Leipzig. His death date is usually given as 2 July 1733, but Schaffrath’s letter of application for his post is dated 2 June and the competition for the vacancy was held on 22 June. Mattheson (Der vollkommene Capellmeister, 1739) described Pezold as one of the most famous organists, and Gerber reckoned him ‘one of the most pleasant church composers of the time’. C.H. Graun was among his pupils. His few surviving instrumental works include three trios, two partitas for viola d’amore, 11 fugues for organ or harpsichord, a suite and single pieces for harpsichord, an Orgeltabulatur (two- and four-part chorales, 1704) and a Recueil de 25 concerts pour le clavecin, dating from 1729. The works for harpsichord and organ have a distinctive virtuoso brilliance, with much use of scale and arpeggio figuration. A cantata, Meine Seufzer, meine Klagen, contains free forms, independent of the da capo scheme.
