Em 1829, Fanny Mendelssohn, de 22 anos, irmã mais velha de Felix, escreveu em seu diário que acabara de compor sua Sonata de Páscoa. Para comemorar o Dia Internacional da Mulher este ano, a sonata foi estreada publicamente com a devida atribuição no Royal College of Music em Londres e transmitida pela BBC3. O crítico do Telegraph, Ivan Hewett, escreveu sobre isso: revela uma obra de energia inquieta e aspiração espiritual ardente. O manuscrito foi descoberto em uma livraria de Paris em 1970 e foi atribuído a seu famoso irmão mais novo, Félix, pois trazia a assinatura “F.Mendelssohn”.

Kate Molleson talks to the German violinist Christian Tetzlaff as he prepares for a recital in London. They discuss the intensity of performing live, the joy of playing chamber music, and playing one last time with his musical partner - and soul mate - Lars Vogt, who passed away recently. Also, in light of rising living costs and of the latest Government measures, Kate is joined by critic and broadcaster Ivan Hewett, and Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, Chief Executive of UK Music, to assess how the music industry is being affected. There's also news of a recently launched orchestra in Colombia, consisting entirely of female players, the Women's Philharmonic Orchestra. Writer Mark Katz tells Kate about his new book 'Music and technology: a short introduction', in which he suggests music and technology have co-existed for much longer than we might think, to explain why technology can be used for good or evil, and how technology have empowered marginalised communities in societies across the world.

ARTS & SOCIETY FORUM: At one time, classical music was rigorously defended – both by the sector and within wider society – because of its unique stature as the epitome of the European music tradition and its alignment with Enlightenment ideals. But who defends classical music today? Should it be defended? Is it time to shake up the genre, make it more accessible, and embrace the sentiment of John Gilhooly, director of Wigmore Hall who says, “In many ways all this is a purification, a chance to start again.” Or is there something intrinsic to the genre that we should seek to preserve? Do we still believe in the transcendental qualities of high art and the concept of art for arts’ sake? Should we defend our traditions or embrace the new normal and move with the times? Gabriella Swallow, Stephen Johnson, Ivan Hewett and Dolan Cummings discuss.
Personal stories about Farewell to Stromness, by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Written in 1980 as a protest against uranium mining in Orkney, the music has touched and changed people's lives. The Orkney landscape which inspired Max's music is described by his partner Tim Morrison. We hear from Rosalind Newton, for whom the music provided peace after the death of her grandmother. Conductor Christopher Warren-Green recalls his performance of the music at the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. In Stromness we discover a community coming together to face the threat of uranium mining. Guitarist Sean Shibe and writer Ivan Hewett consider why this simple piece is so subtle and affective. And we hear from Jeana Leslie how the music, with its quiet melancholy inspired by folk music, has became traditional , and was a favourite for Peter Maxwell Davies to perform to visitors at his remote island home.

In his 1978 album Music for Airports Brian Eno created a new genre of music he named 'ambient music'. The album was designed to ease the tedium of waiting in airports, but ambient music, which Eno said was 'as ignorable as it is interesting', had an influence way beyond that. Ivan Hewett looks into the genesis and subsequent history of ambient music, and explains why Eno's description is not as self-contradictory as it appears to be.The story of new music is peppered with events that have altered the course of musical history. For our New Year New Music season, we asked five Radio 3 presenters to each tell the story of one of these "seismic moments". From silence and ambient sounds to riot and revolution, these intriguing events have, in different ways, changed the progress of sound and culture - or, as one of our five suggests, have they?Written and read by Ivan Hewett.
