In this 70th anniversary week of the programme, MON Donald Macleod explores the work and life of this MON prototypically Romantic composer, who drew his inspiration MON as much from literature and the dramas of his own life as MON from the music of the composers he revered - above all, MON Bach, Beethoven and Schubert. MON MON Largely self-taught, Schumann immersed himself in one MON musical medium until he felt ready to move on and tackle MON another. So this week's programmes look in turn at his five MON major fields of compositional activity: solo piano; song; MON chamber music; music drama; and music for orchestra. MON MON For his first ten years as a composer, Schumann focused MON almost exclusively on the piano. He was a virtuoso pianist MON and had originally envisaged a solo career, so it was a MON natural place for him to start. Schumann's piano music is MON closely bound up with the circumstances of its creation, MON from the early Toccata in C, inspired by seeing Paganini in MON concert, to another C major work on an altogether grander MON scale, the Fantasie, op.17, which dramatizes the composer's MON inner life, and particularly his feelings of desolation at MON being separated from Clara Wieck (later to become his wife). MON The soberly-titled Variations in E flat major on an Original MON Theme are Schumann's last surviving work for solo piano, MON written days before his voluntary committal to the asylum MON where he would see out his final years. He said that the MON theme was 'dictated by the angels' whose voices he heard one MON night as he lay in bed.

First MON performed in 2007 by the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, it's a MON work the composer wrestled with over several years. The fast MON opening section came into being in 2003, but Matthews MON couldn't immediately find the way forward, and when he did a MON year later, the continuation was even faster, a whirling, MON scherzo-like episode. Once again, the composer ground to a MON halt, unable to continue. The 'turning point' came with a MON complete change of direction, music that was very slow and MON intense though based entirely on the same material that was MON heard earlier. The overall impression is, as Matthews puts MON it "of complex momentum countered by expressive simplicity". MON MON British violinist Daniel Hope has toured the world as a MON virtuoso soloist for many years. Acclaimed by critics as MON adventurous and brilliant, of probing intellect and MON commanding style, he's also been described as "the most MON exciting British string player since Jacqueline du Pré" by MON the Observer. Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto was a MON landmark in his search for a new simplicity and a directness MON of expression. The flinty beauty of the concerto stands in MON sharp contrast to the granite heft of Shostakovich's MON Symphony No. 11, 'The Year 1905' written four years after MON the death of Joseph Stalin and studded through with MON revolutionary songs.

MON MON 21:30 Sunday Feature b01ghb93 (Listen) MON AL Kennedy's Art and Madness MON MON In this highly authored inquiry AL Kennedy questions the MON clichéd link between madness and creativity, claiming that MON being true to oneself and exploring ones identity is MON integral to the making or performing of one's art - however MON perilous this can seem. Losing one's mind is a negative, MON terrifying experience, freeing it can be nerve-wracking too, MON but also exhilarating, beautiful and eloquent - for MON everyone. MON MON Many artists' creativity has been defined as a kind of MON obsessive disorder, a compulsion they can barely control. MON So, after being diagnosed with tuberculosis, Chekhov chose MON to continue work rather than seek treatment. Acutely tuned MON senses, restlessness, intensity of focus, reduced MON inhibition, depression, a sense of the visionary and MON heightened imaginative powers are all hallmarks of both the MON creative and mentally ill individual - a number of recent MON studies support this link. And yet decades of studies have MON also questioned conventional definitions of madness, MON treatments of the "insane" and the long-term effects of MON "normal" behaviour. MON MON Van Gogh or Virginia Woolf could not work when they were MON experiencing a psychotic episode; Sylvia Plath was probably MON pushed to the brink by wrongly prescribed medication - she MON too could not write during extreme states of depression.. MON MON As we hear, making art can be profoundly therapeutic, but to MON create, perform or make, requires a great deal of control MON and order. MON MON With contributions from psychologist Dorothy Rowe, MON psychotherapist Adam Phillips, writer Lisa Appignanesi, MON playwright John Byrne, pianist James Rhodes, performance MON artist Bobby Baker, sculptor and artist Cornelia Parker, MON actor Edward Petherbridge and patients and staff at Bethlem MON Psychiatric Hospital.

By the time TUE Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were walking its streets it had TUE become a vibrant cosmopolitan city where the aristocracy TUE lived in close proximity to the lower classes and catholic TUE German speakers rubbed shoulders with immigrants from across TUE the empire. With the ideas of the enlightenment being TUE discussed in every coffee house and a population with money TUE to spend, the scene was set for the composer of The Marriage TUE of Figaro, Die Entfuhrung and The Magic Flute to entertain TUE them.

WED Proms Artists Recommend WED WED 12:00 Composer of the Week b037vyyc (Listen) WED Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Chamber Music WED WED When Robert Schumann abandoned his legal studies, the world WED may have lost a lawyer, but it gained one of the freshest, WED most distinctive musical voices of the 19th - or any other - WED century. In this 70th anniversary week of the programme, WED Donald Macleod explores the work and life of this WED prototypically Romantic composer, who drew his inspiration WED as much from literature and the dramas of his own life as WED from the music of the composers he revered - above all, WED Bach, Beethoven and Schubert. WED WED Largely self-taught, Schumann immersed himself in one WED musical medium until he felt ready to move on and tackle WED another. So this week's programmes look in turn at his five WED major fields of compositional activity: solo piano; song; WED chamber music; music drama; and music for orchestra. WED WED Schumann's first serious venture into chamber music came in WED 1842, and it was an exceptionally productive one: two piano WED quintets, three string quartets and a set of Phantasiestücke WED for piano trio. The first quintet is one of Schumann's most WED popular works and has a truly symphonic sweep. By contrast, WED the quartets are intimate and discursive. Ten years on, WED Schumann was half-way through an ill-fated post as Director WED of Music for the city of Düsseldorf. Perhaps it was the WED increasingly unsatisfactory nature of his encounters with WED the local symphony orchestra, of which he was now the WED conductor, that spurred him to an intense, late burst of WED chamber-music composition, including the strange and WED elliptical Märchenerzählungen.

WED WED 21:30 Sunday Feature b01kjtwj (Listen) WED Think Negative! WED WED A celebration of nay-saying, refusal, and creative WED contrariness in cultural history. WED WED We live in a culture that puts a premium on positivity and WED frowns on negativity. The poet, novelist and professor of WED Comparative Literature at Oxford University, Patrick WED McGuinness argues that, on the contrary, negative thinking WED is vital to the life of the mind and the progress of WED thought. He draws on a long fascination with "negative WED spaces", inspired by his youthful experiences of Bucharest WED at the end of the Ceausescu era, a vanishing "city of lost WED walks", explored in his acclaimed first novel. His current WED research involves another "negative city", Bruges, which, WED after its link to the North Sea receded, was cut off from WED the commerce that once sustained it. Following the huge WED success of Georges Rodenbach's novel Bruges-la-Morte in WED 1892, a cult of "dead-Bruges" developed. It was considered WED the "anti-Paris" of the 19th century, a dark version of the WED City of Light, and drew tourists for that very reason. WED McGuinness recreates this anti-grand-tour with Belgian poet WED Stefan Hertmans. WED WED Along the way he reflects how our current era is more likely WED to repress negativity than make a cult of it. Neuroscientist WED Tali Sharot argues that, like it or not, we have evolved an WED "optimism bias", while cultural commentator Barbara WED Ehrenereich claims that "positive thinking has ruined WED America and the world". McGuinness traces the changing role WED of negativity across cultural history: the via negativa of WED medieval theology; the negative dialectics of modern WED philosophy; the discovery of negative numbers in maths. WED Geoff Dyer and John Banville discuss the writers they admire WED who exemplify and inspire the creative possibilities of WED negative thinking. WED WED Produced by Paul Quinn. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3. WED WED First broadcast in july 2012.

FRI Proms Artists Recommend FRI FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week b037vyyh (Listen) FRI Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Music for Orchestra FRI FRI When Robert Schumann abandoned his legal studies, the world FRI may have lost a lawyer, but it gained one of the freshest, FRI most distinctive musical voices of the 19th - or any other - FRI century. In this 70th anniversary week of the programme, FRI Donald Macleod explores the work and life of this FRI prototypically Romantic composer, who drew his inspiration FRI as much from literature and the dramas of his own life as FRI from the music of the composers he revered - above all, FRI Bach, Beethoven and Schubert. FRI FRI Largely self-taught, Schumann immersed himself in one FRI musical medium until he felt ready to move on and tackle FRI another. So this week's programmes look in turn at his five FRI major fields of compositional activity: solo piano; song; FRI chamber music; music drama; and music for orchestra. FRI FRI Schumann's orchestral output is the focus of the last of the FRI week's programmes, with a complete performance of his 4th FRI Symphony of 1841 (in its lusher 1851 revision). Donald also FRI introduces an extract from one of Schumann's most exuberant FRI and original works, the Konzertstück for 4 horns and FRI orchestra, written during the composer's most productive FRI year, 1849; and the strangely haunting Phantasie for violin FRI and orchestra, one of Schumann's last completed works. It FRI was written in the afterglow of encounters with the FRI 18-year-old Joachim - six years into his career and already FRI one of the foremost violinists in Europe - and a FRI little-known composer, recently turned 20, who had the FRI chutzpah to pitch up on the famous man's doorstep with a FRI satchelful of his own compositions: Johannes Brahms.
