Donald Macleod continues his journey through pre-war Vienna. A genius from a bygone age dies alone in a Vienna asylum ? and a young Alban Berg takes his first musical steps.
As part of World War I on the BBC, this week Radio 3 focuses on the European music scene in the years leading up to the First World War.
In the first decade and a half of the twentieth century, Vienna was the hub of the world's art, music and philosophy. Donald Macleod takes us through the key musical figures and works that made waves in pre-war Vienna, including Mahler, Korngold, Zemlinsky and the "Second Viennese School" of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and explores the personal, musical and philosophical conflicts that tore it apart.
In the Autumn of 1904, Arnold Schoenberg ? looking for some much-needed extra income ? placed an ad in a Viennese newspaper for pupils desiring musical instruction. His students would change the history of music. Donald Macleod explores the relationship between the young Berg and Webern and their mentor ? himself only a few years older ? and their musical cousin, the recently-heartbroken Alexander Zemlinsky. He finishes with a movement from Mahler's most neglected symphony ? the Seventh.
In the first of four programmes recorded at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2013, Finnish clarinet master, Kari Kriikku joins the Heath Quartet in a concert celebrating the first blossoming of a new instrument, in the hands of Mozart and other composers.

Stepping back in time exactly a century, five BBC News correspondents present their personal perspectives on the principal cities of the major European powers that, later in 1914, would fight the Great War.
The programmes continue with Hugh Schofield reimagining the chic French capital of Maurice Ravel, the Ballets Russes and Henri Matisse - but which politically suffered continuing angst over its neighbour across the Rhine: Germany.
For many, the wounds of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1 had still not healed. And the assassination in Paris of the leading French pacifist and socialist, Jean Jaurès, in late July 1914 convulsed the city and crystallised the diverging views about France's relations with her European neighbours. Hugh Schofield tells the story of why this event provoked such turmoil at the time and why it still resonates powerfully today in the politics and culture of France.
Nick Luscombe with British radio's most eclectic mix of music including 'Over There', a new collection of sounds from early 20th-century black Europe. Plus he continues to explore his theme of mischievous music and subversive song, featuring more 'plunderphonic' toilet humour by Cassette Boy and the very angry protest songs of American singer-songwriter David Rovics as well as his predecessor Phil Ochs.

Vienna on the Brink
Korngold the Prodigy
Donald Macleod's journey through Vienna's pre-war musical life continues, with the story of the remarkable prodigy, Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
As part of World War I on the BBC, this week Radio 3 focuses on the European music scene in the years leading up to the First World War.
In the first decade-and-a-half of the twentieth century, Vienna was the hub of the world's art, music and philosophy. Donald Macleod takes us through the key musical figures and works that made waves in pre-war Vienna, including Mahler, Korngold, Zemlinsky and the "Second Viennese School" of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and explores the personal, musical and philosophical conflicts that tore it apart.
1907, and Arnold Schoenberg struggles with the aftermath of his wife's devastating affair with the gifted artist Richard Gerstl, who later commits suicide in gruesome fashion. Elsewhere in Vienna, at ten years old Erich Korngold is writing orchestral music and ballets that are the toast of the city. Donald Macleod explores Korngold's early lessons with Zemlinsky, and introduces the story behind two of the most assured "opus 1s" of the 20th century ? Alban Berg's Piano Sonata and Anton von Webern's Passacaglia. Light relief comes from the pen of the hugely popular operetta composer, Oscar Straus.

Episode 3
Katie Derham introduces two works first performed in Berlin on the eve of the First World War. Strauss's motet for sixteen voices owes much to his Alpine symphony and contains the ominous words by Rückert: 'Let not the powers of darkness, dread night, gain inward light.' Strauss's motet is followed by a major work by his contemporary and rival, Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek. His fifty minute symphonic satire, 'The Winner, The Loser,' traces the journey of a man from success to failure.

Sakari Oramo (conductor)
Horn players of the BBC SO
For his second programme in the BBC Symphony Orchestra's season, Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo offers an exhilarating menu of Beethoven, Schumann and Colin Matthews. Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony was, and remains, a revolutionary statement of genius. The blazing 'hunting' horns in the symphony's trio, perfectly echoes Schumann's glorious Konzertstück for four horns, showcasing soloists from the BBC SO, and the heroic, romantic and soulful qualities of the instrument. Traces Remain, a new commission from Colin Matthews, takes its name and inspiration from a book of essays by Charles Nicholl: 'the sudden presence, the glimpse behind the curtain, the episode measured in minutes and preserved across the centuries'.
Followed by a Music on the Brink Modernist Moment, introduced by Tom Service.

Breaking Free: Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities
Novelists Margaret Drabble and William Boyd, the cultural historian Philipp Blom, German literature expert Andrew Webber and the actor, Peter Marinker take part in a Landmark discussion about Robert Musil's The Man without Qualities chaired by Matthew Sweet.
One of the acknowledged masterpieces of European fiction - it has been compared to Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End, Proust's In Search of Lost Time and Joyce's Ulysses. Left unfinished by the Austrian author at his death in 1942, The Man Without Qualities is one of the first comprehensive accounts of a truly modern sensibility and examines a world perched on the brink of catastrophe - about to fall headlong into the turmoil and anguish of the Great War.
The programme is being repeated as part of Radio 3's Breaking Free season of programmes.
Producer: Zahid Warley.
WED 22:45 The Essay (b03ncnfc)
Cities on the Brink
Berlin
Stepping back in time, three BBC News correspondents present their personal perspectives on the capital cities of the major European powers that fought the Great War.
The first programme explores the epicentre of turmoil as the conflagration took hold: Berlin, the capital of Kaiser Wilhelm II's empire. Stephen Evans reminds us that the German capital on the eve of war was the world's most innovative technological centre. Einstein was here, the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics from 1914. Mark Twain called Berlin the "German Chicago" because of its dizzying sense of modernity and progress. Immigrants were sucked in by industry. In 1895, 20,000 Berliners worked in the factories being built on the outskirts of the city, living cheek-by-jowl in new blocks which became known as "rental barracks".
But all this industrial energy and the wealth it created - which we still associate with today's Germany - came at a price. Both male and female workers felt alienated in their work, likening themselves to machines. As women grew in importance to the economy, so did the loudness of the criticism of their alleged neglect of traditional home virtues. The image of Germany united in war that was to be orchestrated later in the year was already belied by the reality of daily life in the capital itself.
Producer Simon Coates.

Vienna on the Brink
The Master Dies
Donald Macleod continues his chronology of pre-war musical Vienna. 1911, and as Vienna's young modernists find their voice, a flame of Vienna's glorious past is extinguished.
As part of World War I on the BBC, this week Radio 3 focuses on the European music scene in the years leading up to the First World War.
In the first decade and a half of the twentieth century, Vienna was the hub of the world's art, music and philosophy. Donald Macleod takes us through the key musical figures and works that made waves in pre-war Vienna, including Mahler, Korngold, Zemlinsky and the "Second Viennese School" of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and explores the personal, musical and philosophical conflicts that tore it apart.
As Vienna entered the second decade of the 20th century, its young Turks were, in very different ways, finding a unique musical voice. Yet the year would be remembered for two giants of Vienna past. On May 18th, Gustav Mahler died, having made a final return journey from the New World to his native Austria. Donald Macleod explores this seismic musical event and its impact on the younger generation, and introduces the musical hit of the year by a composer from an older generation: "Der Rosenkavalier" by the 47 year-old Richard Strauss.

Brindley Sherratt, bass
Hallé Orchestra
Nikolaj Znaider, conductor
Nikolaj Znaider conducts the first concert in the Hallé's 'Strauss's Voice' series, opening with Wagner's stirring overture to The Flying Dutchman.
The dark-hued, expressive voice of bass Brindley Sherratt is the ideal medium for Strauss's most evocative orchestral songs, the orchestrations of which are fascinatingly responsive to the poetic texts they set. 'Das Thal' (The Valley) is an affectionate celebration of nature, while 'Der Einsame' (The Lonesome One) explores the darkest reaches of the human soul.
The influence of Tchaikovsky can be clearly discerned in Sibelius's First Symphony and particularly in the heart-on-sleeve lyricism of its glorious finale.
Followed by a Music on the Brink Modernist Moment. Tom Service introduces Scriabin's final work his Five Preludes, Op.74 (1914).
THU 22:00 Free Thinking (b03ncqlk)
Landmark: George Dangerfield's The Strange Death of Liberal England
As part of BBC Radio 3's Music on the Brink season Professor Roy Foster, the journalist and author Nick Cohen, Baroness Shirley Williams, Duncan Brack of the Liberal Democrat History Group and the author Bea Campbell join Philip Dodd to discuss a Landmark book which explores the collapse of Liberal values in Britain. And does ''The Strange Death of Liberal England' written by George Dangerfield in 1934 have a message for political debate and the wider culture now?
You can download this programme by searching under the Arts and Ideas Podcasts by the broadcast date.
Dangerfield's first memory as a child was of being held up to a window in May 1910 to watch Halley's Comet falling across the sky and it is with this moment in time that he begins his book. The Right Honourable Herbert Henry Asquith is watching the comet from the deck of an Admiralty Yacht way out in the Bay of Biscay having just heard via wireless that Edward VII is dead. And as HMS Enchantress tacks for Plymouth, Asquith stands in the summer ocean twilight and wonders how the new George V will tackle the political crises that lie just ahead.
The rapid collapse of self-confidence from the apogee of Empire to industrial unrest, mutiny, civil war in Ireland, The Parliament Act of 1911, the Suffragette movement: this was the reality of the lead-up to World War I. It was a period which marked the end of English Liberalism, and this is Dangerfield's subject.
Producer Neil Trevithick.
THU 22:45 The Essay (b03ncnfk)
Cities on the Brink
St Petersburg
Stepping back in time, BBC News correspondents present their personal perspectives on the capital cities of major European powers that fought the Great War.
The series continues with the remarkable city which would - uniquely - soon be renamed amidst bloody regicide and revolution: St Petersburg.
The BBC's Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, finds a revealing connection, however, between the St. Petersburg of a hundred years ago and its counterpart of today.
He tells the remarkable story of the Grand International Masters' Chess Tournament of 1914, with its starring cast of Russian, German, French, British and American competitors and its dramas of who won and who lost.
But the tournament also demonstrated the Russian passion for chess that continues to this day and helps define its national identity as well as the fierce competition with other countries.

Vienna on the Brink
Skandal!
Donald Macleod ends his exploration of Vienna's pre-war musical life with a recreation of the most scandalous concert in Viennese musical history.
As part of World War I on the BBC, this week Radio 3 focuses on the European music scene in the years leading up to the First World War.
In the first decade and a half of the twentieth century, Vienna was the hub of the world's art, music and philosophy. Donald Macleod takes us through the key musical figures and works that made waves in pre-war Vienna, including Mahler, Korngold, Zemlinsky and the "Second Viennese School" of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and explores the personal, musical and philosophical conflicts that tore it apart.
March 31st, 1913 was a date that would go down in the annals of European music history. The event that would later be termed "Das Skandalkonzert" was billed innocuously enough ? a programme of new music by Schoenberg, Webern, Berg and Zemlinsky, plus one of Mahler's achingly beautiful Kindertotenlieder. But before long, the audience were rioting at the daring new sounds emanating from the stage. Donald Macleod ends the week by recreating the programme of this infamous date in musical history ? presenting the story behind the works that caused such a scandal.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b03ncng0)
Cities on the Brink
London
Stepping back in time, BBC News correspondents present a personal perspective on principal cities of the major European powers that fought the First World War. In this Essay, Emma Jane Kirby considers the capital of the largest contemporary modern maritime empire: London.
To today's listeners some of Londoners' concerns a century ago will seem extraordinarily familiar. Complaints about the Tube were as frequent and heartfelt then as they are today. To try and divert travellers from their misery, Macdonald Gill - the brother of sculptor and designer Eric Gill - was commissioned to produce a "Wonderground" map. It was intended to amuse them as they waited for their trains which were infrequent, often dirty and overcrowded.
The map's whimsical illustrations - together with Cockney asides put in the mouths of some of the invented characters - captured the city's above-ground, pre-war character. It evoked the zeitgeist which George Bernard Shaw simultaneously reflected on stage in "Pygmalion" - and led to a subsequent commission to design a theatreland map during the First World War.
Emma Jane Kirby considers the idea of Britain which London was presenting to both the wider world and Britons themselves, and she assesses how far these attitudes still resonate today.

FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b03ncqyy)
Monoswezi in Session
Lopa Kothari with new tracks from across the globe, plus a studio session with Monoswezi, fronted by Zimbabwean singer Hope Masike.
Monoswezi - the name means 'one world' in Shona - is a coming together of jazz musicians from Norway and Sweden with Zimbabwean singer Hope Masike. Hope also plays the mbira, Zimbabwe's traditional thumb-piano, and their music is rooted in the folk songs of Zimbabwe and neighbouring Mozambique. The band's success has been worldwide: a critic from New Zealand wrote "Proving less-is-more, the spacious arrangements allow for the simple folk melodies to sit easily with elegantly sophisticated contemporary jazz.".
