Christian Petzold (1677–1733) was an organist and composer who worked in Dresden. Melody you can play here: Minuet in G.
His Minuet in G (around 1725) was long thought to be by Johann Sebastian Bach, because it appears in the notebook Bach compiled for his wife Anna Magdalena. Today it is one of the first pieces many piano students learn.
