In the 200th year since SAT Schumann's birth, this feature looks behind the music. SAT Schumann turned to the novels of Jean Paul and ETA Hoffmann SAT to access a fantasy world of dual personalities, the SAT ordinary becoming extraordinary, humour and irony. This SAT inspired him to write some of his most idiosyncratic and SAT ground-breaking piano works. SAT SAT Lucy Parham is a well known Schumann interpreter and SAT artistic director of Schumann festivals. She reveals how SAT literary links have shed new light on her interpretation. SAT Visiting Schumann's birthplace in Zwickau, Lucy looks at SAT Schumann's extraordinary collection of books, immaculately SAT preserved, including a novel by Jean Paul, Flegeljahre, with SAT annotations by the composer. A description of a masked ball SAT from this book became Papillons. Also in the collection, she SAT discovers Shakespeare's Macbeth and looks at a score with a SAT quotation from Macbeth in Schumann's hand. As the director SAT of the museum Thomas Synofzik explains, Schumann could never SAT have written music without literature and he might well have SAT become a writer. Lucy plays Schumann's music in the museum, SAT on a piano from 1860 played by Clara Schumann and belonging SAT to the Wieck family, and talks about how her intepretation SAT has deepened. The feature includes insights into German SAT literature from academics Ricarda Schmidt and Erika Reiman SAT and the writer Laura Tunbridge. SAT SAT Throughout the programme you hear Schumann's own words, and SAT passages from the books he turned to for inspiration, read SAT by the renowned actor and music enthusiast Henry Goodman.

SUN SUN Each producer tackles one of the five elements of the SUN narrative game - the woman, the man, where they met, what SUN they said and what the consequence was... The series SUN explores the many playful ways a story for the ear can be SUN told - from documentary to drama, sound art to fantastical SUN storytelling - with each player unaware of what has preceded SUN them.

SUN SUN The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra performs music by a SUN quartet of visionary and idiosyncratic composers, including SUN two premieres. John White's Chord-breaking Machine could be SUN seen as belonging to a tradition of experimental English SUN minimalists, deconstructing musical material into its SUN constituent parts and reforming as repetitive machine SUN structures; Irish maverick Gerald Barry's No Other People, SUN tonight receiving its first UK performance, also draws on SUN repetition and seemingly simple musical figures, but here to SUN create strongly contrasting canvases of bold, wild and stark SUN music. SUN SUN Frederic Rzewski's BBC Radio 3-commissioned Piano Concerto, SUN tonally kaleidoscopic and stylistically far reaching, SUN receives its world premiere, with the composer as soloist. SUN And the concert concludes with Morton Feldman's late SUN masterpiece, Coptic Light, a meditation for orchestra: a SUN beatific and spiritual end to this late-night Prom.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b03lzb83 (Listen) MON Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), Bonn Beginnings MON MON Beethoven's home town of Bonn is where he learnt to be a MON composer. Donald Macleod tells the story of the maestro's MON apprentice years, and presents some of his neglected early MON works. MON MON If Bonn had had a child protection unit in the 1770s, its MON officers would probably have been frequent callers at 24 MON Rheingasse, the Beethoven family home. A neighbour might MON have heard little Ludwig calling out from the cellar where MON he had been locked by his drunkard father Johann, or MON witnessed one of the regular beatings Johann administered to MON 'encourage' his son to practice the piano. Yet from this MON abusive background, Ludwig van Beethoven emerged as the MON greatest musician of his age - the composer who absorbed the MON Classical legacy of Haydn and Mozart, then utterly MON transformed it. This week, Donald Macleod charts the course MON of this transformation in a series of five extended MON snapshots of Beethoven's life and work, from his first MON attempts at composition to the extraordinary productions of MON his final years. MON MON Today's programme surveys Beethoven's last ten years in MON Bonn, before his permanent move to Vienna in 1792. Along MON with his father, the cast of characters includes his MON grandfather, also named Ludwig, a previous court MON kapellmeister; his teacher, Christian Gottlob Neefe, who MON spotted Beethoven's prodigious talent and did everything he MON could to foster it; his mother, whose death in 1787 left MON deep scars on the 16-year-old composer; Maximilian Franz, MON Elector of Cologne and Beethoven's employer in his post as a MON sprucely liveried court musician; Mozart, with whom MON Beethoven may or may not have studied briefly; and Papa MON Haydn, with whom Beethoven was to have an uneasy MON pupil-teacher relationship in Vienna. The musical soundtrack MON includes an early piano quartet that Beethoven would later MON mine for material when he came to write his first published MON piano sonatas, and two early masterpieces: an ambitious set MON of 24 Variations on an operatic air by Righini, and the MON Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II, of which Brahms MON remarked, when the manuscript resurfaced almost a century MON later, "it is Beethoven through and through". MON MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b03lzb85 (Listen) MON Schwetzingen Festival 2013, Episode 1 MON MON A week of highlights from the annual festival at MON Schwetzingen in South-Western Germany begins with MON Jean-Efflam Bavouzet performing Haydn's Piano Sonata in E, MON soprano Christiane Karg singing five songs from Wolf's MON Italian Songbook, and violinist Isabelle Faust leading a MON performance of Mendelssohn's Second String Quintet.

MON MON 16:30 Sean Rafferty at Home b03lzb89 (Listen) MON Julian Bream MON MON In the first of a series of Christmas specials, Sean MON Rafferty visits guitarist Julian Bream at home in Wiltshire MON to discuss a lifetime of music making. MON MON At 80 years old, Julian Bream CBE has left a lasting legacy MON on the world of classical music, he popularised the lute and MON Elizabethan music and worked closely with composers such as MON Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett and Malcolm Arnold to MON increase the guitar's repertoire. MON MON Julian talks candidly to Sean about his experiences as a MON child prodigy, forced to play the piano and cello because MON the guitar wasn't considered a "serious" classical MON instrument and recounts his first experience, as a teenager, MON sitting in the Wigmore Hall with a pair of binoculars MON watching the hands of his hero Andres Segovia. Bream MON describes the anguish he felt while he locked himself in a MON shepherd's hut in majorca for 10 days forcing himself to MON master Britten's fiendishly difficult Nocturnal and how he MON offered Malcolm Arnold £30 to write him a concerto - a MON commission which was fulfilled in a matter of days. MON MON Now at the end of his career and playing no more than a few MON notes on his guitar, this extended interview is a unique MON insight into one of Britain's most important musical figures MON of the 20th Century.

A lecherous Nibelung dwarf called Alberich MON seizes the gold and heads to Nibelheim where he builds an MON empire based on fear and slave labour. We also meet Wotan MON the chief god in his castle Valhalla, and who when he hears MON of the all-powerful ring, decides he wants it for himself.

TUE TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week b03lzd2c (Listen) TUE Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), Summer in Heiligenstadt TUE TUE For Beethoven, 1802 marked both an emotional nadir and a TUE peak of creativity. Donald Macleod explores how the TUE composer's acceptance of his deafness spawned a string of TUE masterpieces. TUE TUE Today's programme focuses on six months in 1802, when TUE Beethoven, on doctor's orders, took a rest-cure in the tiny, TUE picturesque spa-town of Heiligenstadt. For some years the TUE composer's hearing had been deteriorating but, by 1801, TUE things had started to reach crisis point. In June of that TUE year Beethoven wrote a despairing letter to his childhood TUE friend Franz Wegeler, now a distinguished medic. Wegeler TUE recommended a change of doctor, and it was the new man - TUE Johann Adam Schmidt - who advised Beethoven to abscond to TUE Heiligenstadt to give his hearing a rest away from the noisy TUE bustle of Vienna. Here Beethoven wrote the document known by TUE posterity as the Heiligenstadt Testament - a letter to his TUE brothers, to be read only after his death, in which he TUE expressed despair at his hearing loss but determination TUE nonetheless to fulfil what he felt to be his artistic TUE destiny. His productivity during the summer of 1802 bears TUE witness to that determination; here he wrote or completed TUE his 2nd Symphony, the three violin sonatas Op 30, two of the TUE piano sonatas Op 31, and more besides.

Donald Macleod asks why. WED WED Today's programme homes in on a single day, the 22nd of WED December 1808, when Beethoven mounted an extraordinary WED 'benefit' concert ? that is, a concert for his own financial WED benefit, in the Theater an der Wien. He had been petitioning WED the authorities for months for permission to do this, and WED eventually he took the only date he could get, despite the WED fact that it clashed with a major charity event being held WED on the same evening in another theatre. That, though, turned WED out to be the least of Beethoven's problems, foremost of WED which was the temperature inside the auditorium, which he WED couldn't afford to heat. Then there was the programme; four WED hours' worth of the most challenging new music ? difficult WED for an audience under the most favourable of conditions, let WED along listening inside an icebox. To make matters worse, WED Beethoven had fallen out with the orchestral musicians at a WED previous concert, and they refused to rehearse with him. The WED evening concluded with the Choral Fantasia, which the WED composer had hastily finished off to provide a suitably WED grand conclusion to the proceedings. In the event, the WED performance came so badly unstuck that Beethoven had to stop WED the music halfway through and start again from the top. As WED one contemporary who shivered his way through the whole WED evening observed, "one can easily have too much of a good WED thing".

THU THU 12:00 Composer of the Week b03lzd2h (Listen) THU Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), From the Ridiculous to the THU Sublime THU THU Donald Macleod explains how the phenomenal success of THU Beethoven's trashy potboiler, Wellington's Victory, had THU positive repercussions; it led to the revised version of THU Fidelio. THU THU Today's programme charts one of the most extraordinary THU episodes in Beethoven's life, from late 1813 to the end of THU the following year. For the previous decade, Europe had been THU dogged by the Napoleonic Wars. Now Napoleon's fortunes were THU beginning to unravel, and in June 1813, Austria abandoned THU its neutrality and joined the alliance against the French. THU In the same month, the French army, fighting under THU Napoleon's brother, Joseph I, was defeated by Wellington at THU the Battle of Vitoria. Vienna was awash with a tide of THU patriotic fervour, and that's when the imperial court THU mechanician, Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, came to Beethoven with THU an unusual proposal ? would he compose a patriotic piece THU celebrating Wellington's victory? The work was originally to THU be written not for orchestra but for the Panharmonicon, a THU bellows-powered contraption-in-a-case of Mälzel's invention THU that could reproduce the sounds of a military band. THU Beethoven agreed, but in the event he produced an orchestral THU version instead. Premièred at a public concert in December THU 1813, this fatuous work became an immediate sensation, and THU several more performances followed. By the law of unexpected THU consequences, when the management of the Viennese court THU opera were looking for a new production, they turned to the THU most successful composer of the moment: Beethoven. They THU approached him with a view to staging his opera Fidelio, and THU he agreed, but only on the basis that he would be able to THU revise it completely ? in the process, creating the version THU most widely performed to this day.

FRI FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week b03lzd2k (Listen) FRI Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), Three Late Masterpieces FRI FRI In today's programme, Donald Macleod unpicks the overlapping FRI origins of three late Beethoven masterpieces: the Missa FRI Solemnis, the Diabelli Variations and the 9th Symphony. FRI FRI Today's programme picks up the trail in the early months of FRI 1819, with Beethoven planning to write a High Mass for the FRI installation of his patron and pupil, Archduke Rudolph, as FRI Archbishop of Olmütz the following March. In the event, the FRI scale of the work grew so far beyond his original conception FRI that Beethoven overshot his self-imposed deadline by three FRI years. Meanwhile, another commission had come along. The FRI publisher, Anton Diabelli, wanted to bring out a patriotic FRI collection of piano variations on a light-hearted waltz of FRI his own composition, to be contributed by the 50 most FRI celebrated composers and virtuosi of the Austrian empire. FRI Each composer was to provide a single variation, Beethoven FRI included. Something about the project evidently fascinated FRI him because, instead of one variation, he ultimately came up FRI with 33 ? his largest and many would say greatest piano FRI work. So he broke off work on the mass to write the first FRI two-thirds of the Diabellis. He then set those aside for FRI another new commission, to compose three more piano sonatas; FRI they would be his last. Only then, in 1822, did he return to FRI the mass, when he also started work on the 9th Symphony. FRI That too was set aside while he completed the Diabelli FRI Variations, after which he polished off the 9th. Confused? FRI You won't be after today's show.
