Detail information

Beethoven's Music for a Mechanical Clock is the third from a collection of five short pieces Beethoven wrote for Flötenuhr or Mechanical Clock, discovered a number of years after his death. Their true origin was uncovered by Professor Albert Kopfermann, a German musician/librarian, who solved the mystery about their instrumentation.

This delightful Allegro movement has been transposed into the key of D from G and arranged for moderately advanced performers by Ralph Sauer. Your audience will love this little gem as the clock slows down and stops before the final cadence. It will make a great encore piece.
