In the 1870s, visiting American composer Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), from Connecticut, happened to stay at the George Hotel, in Piercebridge, in the North of England, and was told the story of the Jenkins brothers and the old clock. He was fascinated by the story, and using it as inspiration, composed a song which he published in 1878 after his return to the States. This song - My Grandfather?s Clock - is reputedly his own interpretation of the Piercebridge clock story, and became very famous, selling over a million copies. Japanese arranger Takao Shirikawa has produced this theme and variations, based on the famous melody, for four clarinets.In Piercebridge, Engeland, ligt het George Hotel, dat in de negentiende eeuw werd gerund door twee broers met de naam Jenkins. In de hal stond een staande klok, die perfect gelijk liep. Na de dood van een van de gebroeders begon deklok achter te lopen. Nadat de tweede heer Jenkins overleed, gaf de oude klok er voorgoed de brui aan. Toen de Amerikaanse componist Henry Clay Work in het George Hotel verbleef, kreeg hij het verhaal over de klok te horen. Hijschreef daarop de bekende song My Grandfather's Clock - die Takao Shirakawa gebruikte voor deze Grandfather's Clock Variation.Henry Clay Work komponierte dieses Stuck im 18. Jahrhundert, inspiriert von der Legende uber eine alte Standuhr in einem Hotel in England, die zum Todeszeitpunkt ihres Besitzers fur immer stehen geblieben war. Das Stuck wurde sehr beruhmt und uber eine Million Mal verkauft. Der Japaner Takao Shirakawa bearbeitete es fur Klarinettenquintett.
