Form Analysis

G major, ternary form.

  • A [a (measures 1-8) + b (measures 9-16)]
  • B [c (measures 17-27) + c (measures 28-40)]

From measure 40, a Da Capo al Fine instruction leads back to the opening A section, concluding at measure 16 with a Fine, thereby establishing a ternary form.

Character of the Piece

A "music clock" is a type of small automatic organ that plays music at predetermined times. Befitting music played by an automatic mechanism, short phrases are frequently repeated. The piece is predominantly composed in the high register, seemingly depicting the character of a music clock.
