Via Google Books, I've found a brief humorous Victorian piece about a man obsessed with punctuality who finally gets into music when the concept of tempo is explained to him, but then decides that the best instrument is a metronome, and that the next best thing would be a fully-automated orchestra. Basically he wants electronica/synth about a hundred years before its time. Also has cute little illustrations of the steam-powered automaton musicians.
