Occupations

Christian Petzold (1677 – 1733) was a German composer and organist. He was active primarily in Dresden, and achieved a high reputation during his lifetime, but his surviving works are few. It was established in the 1970s that the famous Minuet in G major, previously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, was in fact the work of Petzold. The sprightly melody was used in the 1965 pop music hit "A Lover's Concerto" by the American group The Toys.^[1][2][3]

Life

He was born in Weißig near Königstein in 1677; the exact date of birth is unknown.

From 1703 Petzold worked as an organist at St. Sophia (Sophienkirche) in Dresden, and in 1709 he became court chamber composer and organist. He led an active musical life, giving concert tours that took him as far as Paris (1714) and Venice (1716).

The first chapter of Petzold�s "Ghost Trilogy", Die innere Sicherheit/The State I Am In (2000), is a thriller of a new genre. Not only are we kept in the dark about what the protagonists are running away from, but we never see most of the crucial events (bank heists, fights). We learn of them from obvious clues. Petzold uses a relatively plain visual style but it is full of signifiers. Nonetheless, there is authentic suspense throughout the film, even if we don't know what is going on and why. It's like a more rational and linear version of David Lynch's cinema, but with a similar desolate atmosphere of existential mystery.

Toter Mann / Something To Remind Me

(2001)

Wolfsburg (2003) is a thriller of sorts: it is not a "whodunit" (we know it from the beginning) but a "will he be discovered?" kind of movie. The suspense rests in the morality act of a man who is trying to redeem himself without exposing himself, without risking the proper punishment (jail), and ends up playing a cruel, sadistic game with the victim. The film has also an underlying social theme, pitting the middle-class white-collar killer who drives a nice c
