That must be why I'm struggling with Ketelbey and Kodaly then, IGI. Oh well.

Correct! Don't forget they go forward an hour soon!!

Can you name them all? (The Beethoven isn't a reference to the metronomic 8th btw)

I thought of clocks right at the start (Prok & Haydn) then googled Ketelby and got anothert hit --- but then was completely stumped by Beethoven.

So nice one Tony: I hardly know the B. 8th and have certainly never heard any reference to a clock with it. So I would never have got there... Sad

But what are the other clocks? I can't even think of the Prokofiev, let alone the Beethoven. There's a singing clock in Ravel's L'enfant et les Sortileges, not that he was one of the composers.

Gurney Nine of the clock

Anthony Hopkins did a Talking About Music prog about Beethoven 8 when he described the end of the 2nd mt as being like getting frustrated with your alarm clock...

And I seem to recall a song using the tune from said mt about Mr Maelzel's Metronome

I think it's just the Nielsen and Beethoven you're missing, so I'll cut to the chase:

Nielsen - Spilleværket (Musical Clock), for piano
Gurney - Nine of the Clock
Haydn – Symphony No.101 ‘The Clock’
Beethoven - Piece for musical clock in F major ("Adagio assai"), WoO 33/1
Prokofiev - Cinderella, ballet, Op. 87 Act 1: Clock Scene
Kodály - Háry János: Viennese Musical Clock
Ketélbey - The Clock and the Dresden Figures
Leroy Anderson - The Syncopated Clock
Françaix - L'Horloge de Flore

Goodnight, all.   Smiley

Very funny, Simon, and thanks to IGI for another puzzle. Actually, Haydn wrote some pieces for mechanical clocks.

Yes, Cinderella by Prokofiev. I suppose it was appropriate that we got it around midnight.  I think I've just turned into a pumpkin, its being so late, so I'll have to go very soon.

The clock theme was a bit of wind up.  Roll Eyes And just to be a bit picky,  IGI, the accent on the Ketèlbey name is going the wrong way, but at least you spelt it ...bey, unlike me. (And it's not even his real name.)

I thought it didn't look quite right! I've always assumed that Ketèlbey wasn't his real name, but according to a few searches I've done, it was:
