| Comments: Variations on The Clock Theme by Haydn. |
| Description: This work is a set of brief variations based on the theme from the slow movement of Franz Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 101. This symphony is nicknamed "The Clock" due to the "tick-tock" effect that you will hear accompanying the theme. This work was created to be a teaching tool. Depending on what the students already were exposed to, this piece offers a chance to deal with changing time signatures, changing key signatures, changing tempi, col legno technique, subito, Grand Pause, tremolo, what are variations, what an old-fashioned mechanical clock sounds like, as well as historical information about Haydn and his symphonies. |
