What composer was inspired by the tick of a clock?
Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn was inspired by the ticking sound of a clock in composing his Symphony Number 101, which remains arguably the most often played of all Hayden's symphonies in concert halls around the world up to present date. The Symphony was nicknamed "the Clock" on account of the ticking sound in the second movement.
The 101st Symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. It was completed by Hayden in 1794 and first performed on March 3rd in 1794 at a special concert organized by Hayden's colleague and friend Johann Salomon in the Hanover Square Rooms in London, England being part of a concert series of Hayden's great music in the English capital.
Like all symphonies of that period it actually has 4 standard movements the first commencing with a slow introduction in the minor mode before going into an exciting presto. The clockwork ticking sound comes in the second movement (Andante) initially emanating from bassoons and plucked strings before the ticking sound is varied among other instrument groupings. Then the cheerful third movement or Menuetto: Allegretto is followed by a very lively fourth movement or Vivace. It is music that can be enjoyed again and again, however many times it is heard during your life.
