EDITORS COMMENTS
The Clock is Playing" is a captivating musical novelty cover for piano, created by the Dutch artist Pierre Blaauw around 1920. This intriguing sheet music design transports us to a whimsical world where time comes to life and plays a mesmerizing melody. The cover is adorned with an array of enchanting characters, each contributing to the magical scene. At the center, a clock with its pendulum in mid-swing dominates the composition, as if ready to strike the hour. Surrounding it, a group of soldiers, complete with their horses and horseback riders, march in perfect synchronization, their uniforms blending seamlessly with the clock's gears and cogs. Fairy tale characters, such as a harlequin, a ballerina, goblins, elves, and a butterfly, add to the fantasy. The butterfly, with its wings spread wide, seems to be flying through the air, while the fairies and goblins dance around the clock's face, their mischievous grins hinting at the magic that lies within. As the clock strikes midnight, a smoky scene unfolds, with the clock's hands transforming into the faces of a goblin king and queen. The soldiers and their horses morph into various creatures, such as a horse with wings, and the clock's face becomes a portal to another realm. This enchanting cover, with its intricate details and captivating storytelling, invites the pianist to step into a magical world and bring the music to life with every note played. Pierre Blaauw's "The Clock is Playing" is a testament to the power of music and the imagination, transporting us to a fantastical realm where time stands still, yet continues to play on.
