Haydn's Symphony No. 101, in D, 'The Clock', was one of the twelve symphonies that he wrote for his London visits towards the end of his life. The whole atmosphere of the music is one of gaiety and charm. Note the accompaniment to the sprightly theme of the slow movement and you' will immediately understand why the symphony is known as * The Clock '. This movement . is followed by a vigorous minuet.
