TaTaTa Leiber Mäelzel! A Beethoven Challenge

Another canon! This time, with a fun challenge for those of you who enjoy Ludwig Beethoven. One of his major pieces incorporates this canon. Can you guess what it is?

The song is a canon "honoring" Johann Nepomuk Mäelzels invention of the metronome.

Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta lieber, lieber, Mäelzel! Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta lebet wohl sehr wohl! Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta Banner der Zeit! Banner der Zeit, ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta großer großer metronom, großer metronom ta ta ta ta ta (and then back to the beginning)

"tata...Lieber lieber Mätzel.ta ta... lebet wohl, sehr wohl. ta ta... Banner der Zeit, Banner der Zeit, tata... Großer, großer Metronom. Großer Metronom, ta ta...

Love this canon!

[Amiduffer]

It sure is nifty.

[CBC3105]

Good Job!

[Amiduffer]

Thanks. I made a better version by digging up the history of it and including the Symphony that it is part of.

[ariastoteles]

Very good, genial!

[Amiduffer]

Glad you enjoyed it.

i'm sorry, i didn't see, the text has already been corrected in the small side window

[passenger52]

well, i learned this canon in school, so i know that the text is: Banner der Zeit, Banner der Zeit (i.e. "er bannte die Zeit").

[Illago]

Ah, I see. I'm only curious. But you understand after all what the text mean?

After all, it is a demonstration of Beethoven's humouros personality.

[Amiduffer]

Whoops. I apologize for the text. I didn't have the score at the time I uploaded this song and never got around to correcting it, you're right.
