Regardless of the game, the piece plays at a tempo of 132 beats per minute.<!--It has a time signature of 4/4 time? I think it switches to a different time later in the piece...Either that, or my ears are going off of the wrong beat. And is written in the key of ____.--> The piece has a brief introduction, followed by the very short melodic line.<!--each loop is ____ measures long.--> The instrumentation consists of: strings, marimba, piano, flute, and synthesizer.


As its name suggests, the rhythms of "Tricksy Clock" mirror that of a clock's traditional "tick-tock" sound- although, in this case, a much faster version. Playing specifically on the beat are piano and stringed bass. Meanwhile, the violins, playing in pizzicato style, play with eighth notes that occur on both down and up beats. The piece begins at a softer dynamic level, but slightly crescendos to the next dynamic level temporarily before using a decrescendo to return to the initial dynamic. This cycle occurs again, but now with the crescendo leading to the introduction of the flute, mallet instruments, and piano. This new trio follows a more playful and tuneful melody that consists of eighth note and sixteenth note combinations. The piece slowly fades out during this brief section.
<!--Second part of paragraph to do- musical analysis of piece. Notice: Eighth notes (1& 2& 3& 4&) = represent tick-tock sound of a clock.-->
