My favourite... early keyboard instruments. Sarah explores the variety of instruments with keyboards that composers wrote music for before the pianoforte came to prominence in the late 18th century. Sarah explores music for the harpsichord, fortepiano, chamber organ, virginals and spinet, by composers including Mozart, Rameau, Giles Farnaby, Martin Peerson and William Byrd.
Take part in our daily musical challenge: identify a piece of music played backwards.
Sarah's guest is the Scottish poet and novelist Jackie Kay. Jackie is an award-winning writer of poetry, plays and novels. Her recent works include a collection of short stories, Reality, Reality, a book of poetry titled Fiere, and a memoir about meeting her Nigerian birth father, Red Dust Road. Jackie will be talking about her writing and sharing a selection of her favourite classical music, including a work by Errollyn Wallen, the traditional Scottish song Eriskay Love Lilt and Robert Burns' Mary Morison, every day at
Sarah places Music in Time. Today the spotlight turns to the Modern period and the English folksong school with Holst's Second Suite for Military Band.
Sarah's artists of the week are the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Founded in 1972 in New York by a group of musicians keen to marry the richness of the orchestral sound with the intimacy of a chamber ensemble, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra play without a conductor, preferring a collaborative partnership of musicians. They have since become recognised as one of the world's great ensembles. Throughout the week Sarah features their recordings of repertoire by composers ranging from Handel and Mozart to Bizet and Copland.
It was his summer sojourns with perhaps his most enlightened employer which saw Telemann's musical outlook transformed. In Poland he heard enough folk songs in eight days to last him a lifetime.
Today we hear some of the fruits of those trips, brought vividly to life by the group Holland Baroque whose recordings are something of a mash-up of Telemann's music and the folk tunes of the day. Plus we discover how Telemann worked with the best performers around him to create a series of concerts so popular that a parking crisis ensued.
Violinist Ilya Gringolts and pianist Fali Pavri contrast the violin sonata by Shostakovich with the gritty modernist soundworld of his pupil Galina Ustvolskaya in a concert recorded at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
This sonata was written by Shostakovich in Moscow during the autumn of 1968, as a 60th birthday present to the renowned violinist David Oistrakh. It was warmly received by the public and the official stamp of approval was given when the 3rd movement of the Sonata was chosen as one of the set pieces in the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition in 1970. The work opens with a soft unison piano line in octaves and is joined by the violin in a hushed counter melody. The second movement is an energetic contrast to the first, and the last movement, a theme and variations, contains cadenzas for both piano and violin, before a final statement of the opening theme.
Much of Galina Ustvolskaya's work was relatively unknown until recently. She wrote that her music was 'spiritual in nature and best suited to performance in a church'. Ustvolskaya was a student and close friend of Shostakovich and he regarded her as a promising student and one with a unique voice. In one private letter he wrote 'It is not you who are influenced by me; rather it is I who am influenced by you'.
Ustvolskaya lived alone in St Petersburg and declined most requests for photographs and interviews. Her output consists of just 21 pieces of music, all written between 1946 and 1990. Many weren't performed in her homeland until the 1990s because of their modernist tendencies
Penny Gore continues her week of performances by the BBC Philharmonic. Today's programme features a concert the orchestra gave on tour last October at Seoul Arts Centre; Viktoria Mullova is soloist in Sibelius's Violin Concerto, and the orchestra takes centre stage in Schubert's Symphony No.9, the 'Great'. There's also a chance to hear Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand with soloist Pavel Kolesnikov.

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
A Versatile Hand
Was there a single instrument of the time which Telemann didn't play? It certainly seems unlikely when browsing his claimed talents not just at the staple violin, flute and keyboard but also the likes of viola pomposa and the chalumeau.
Today, a survey of Telemann's many musical talents, and also some wider skills at which he excelled including engraving and theoretical pursuits. We also encounter the ultimate in musical technology of the time, a keyboard instrument fitted with 500 candles, mirrors and coloured window, all in the quest to link sound and colour.

Shostakovich on Strings
Trio Apaches
Trio Apaches contrast piano trios by Shostakovich and Armenian composer Babajanian in a concert recorded at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Shostakovich wrote his trio in 1944 with the grim realities of the Second World War weighing heavily on his mind. The siege of Leningrad finished in January with a deathtoll of over a million and a realisation of the fate of the Jews across Europe was dawning. Compounding this misery, his closest friend, the music writer Ivan Sollertinsky, died. Shostakovich dedicated the work to his friend following a tradition established by Tchaikovsky in memory of Rubinstein and Rachmaninov with his Trio Elégiaque in memory of Tchaikovsky. The resulting masterpiece is a memorial to all who died at this time - a blend of bleak landscapes, oppressive rhythmic figures, beautiful melodies and ironic juxtaposition such as the inclusion of a joyous Jewish klezmer melody in the final movement.
The figure of Arno Babajanian makes a fascinating contrast to his rather better known contemporary and compatriot Dmitri Shostakovich. Why his name and his music should be so little known in the West is a mystery. In his native Armenia, Babajanian is a national hero. His home town of Yerevan in Armenia has a plaque and a statue and their concert hall is named after him. There is even a minor planet re-named 9017 Babadzhanyan. Spotted by Aram Khachaturian at a young age as a rare musical talent, Babajanian studied in Armenia and Moscow and established himself back in Armenia where he was hugely acclaimed, writing in many genres including popular song. His popularity and fame spread to the wider USSR and he was named as a People's Artist of the Soviet Union in 1971. This Trio is considered one of his most important works and was acclaimed as such at its first performance in 1952. Full of romance, drama and melody, it also reflects his interest in Armenian folk melodies and folklore. In this respect his music has much in common with Rachmaninov and Khachaturian, and his later works show the influence of Bartok and Prokofiev.

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Doing Business
It looks like the worst decision of his life - turning down the job of Leipzig kantor which then cemented JS Bach's immortality. But was it actually a masterstroke?
Donald Macleod uncovers Telemann's business acumen, beginning with that shrewd job negotiation which saw the composer leverage a hefty salary increase from his employers in Hamburg. We also explore Telemann's entrepreneurial activities as he cashes in from the wealth of the local nobility and filing expenses claims which would make any accountant proud.

Shostakovich on Strings
Hakhnazaryan and Shevchenko
Narek Hakhnazaryan and Oxana Shevchenko, in a concert recorded at the Royal Consevatoire of Scotland, perform Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata and a selection of Shostakovich's Preludes in arrangements for cello and piano by the Russian-born pianist, composer and award-winning poet, Lera Auerbach.
Unlike his later 24 Preludes & Fugues inspired directly from Bach's exploration of the keyboard by the same name, Shostakovich drew his inspiration from the preludes of Chopin and ordered the key signatures of his preludes with the same musical logic, grouping major preludes with their relative minor keys. These short pieces, each with their own character are an example the composer's genius in writing distilled miniatures both humorous and profound. Polka, Waltzes, Gavottes, Marches and Nocturnes are transformed and imbued with ambiguity, mockery, playfulness and occasional bittersweet sadness.
Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata was written in 1901 just after his mighty Second Piano Concerto was premiered in Moscow to huge critical acclaim and shares its highly romantic character. Rachmaninov dedicated it to his friend, the eminent cellist Anatoliy Brandukov, who was well-known as an interpreter of Tchaikovsky having premiered many of the older composer's works. Rachmaninov perhaps had his sound in mind in this four-movement work filled with beautiful melodic lines. The composer himself teamed up with Brandukov for the premiere to play the highly expressive and virtuosic part that he had written for the piano and noted that the sonata was "not for cello with piano accompaniment, but for two instruments in equal balance."

Thursday Opera Matinee
Moniuszko - Verbum nobile
Penny Gore presents today's Opera Matinee: Polish composer Stanislaw Moniuszko's one act comic opera, Verbum nobile (The Word of a Nobleman). An instant success at its Warsaw premiere in 1861, the opera concerns Zuzia and Michal who have never met, but have been promised to each other by their parents. The couple then meet accidentally and fall in love, but as Michal introduces himself as Stanislaw, Zusia's father refuses to let them wed.
Plus more from this week's featured orchestra, the BBC Philhamonic with Hummel's Trumpet concerto with soloist Alison Balsom and Mahler's Symphony no.1, from a concert given at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham.

Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (completed by Deryck Cooke)
Mahler never quite finished his Tenth Symphony, but when musicologist Deryck Cooke finally pieced together the sketches, he revealed a lost masterpiece - in which cries of love and cries of pain finally resolve in music of shattering honesty and piercing beauty. Nicholas Collon uncovers its secrets tonight, and sets it alongside miniatures from Brahms and Webern - each one a tiny, concentrated world of poetry and emotion.

Friday - Sarah Walker with Jackie Kay
9am
My favourite... early keyboard instruments. Sarah explores the variety of instruments with keyboards that composers wrote music for before the pianoforte came to prominence in the late 18th century. Sarah explores music for the harpsichord, fortepiano, chamber organ, virginals and spinet, by composers including Mozart, Rameau, Giles Farnaby, Martin Peerson and William Byrd.
9.30am
Take part in today's musical challenge: trace the classical theme behind a well-known song.
10am
Sarah's guest is the Scottish poet and novelist Jackie Kay. Jackie is an award-winning writer of poetry, plays and novels. Her recent works include a collection of short stories, Reality, Reality, a book of poetry titled Fiere, and a memoir about meeting her Nigerian birth father, Red Dust Road. Jackie will be talking about her writing and sharing a selection of her favourite classical music, including a work by Errollyn Wallen, the traditional Scottish song Eriskay Love Lilt and Robert Burns' Mary Morison, every day at
10am.
10:30am
Sarah places Music in Time as she travels back to the Romantic period to explore the rise of nationalism with the Mighty Handful and Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture.
11am
Sarah's artists of the week are the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Founded in 1972 in New York by a group of musicians keen to marry the richness of the orchestral sound with the intimacy of a chamber ensemble, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra play without a conductor, preferring a collaborative partnership of musicians. They have since become recognised as one of the world's great ensembles. Throughout the week Sarah features their recordings of repertoire by composers ranging from Handel and Mozart to Bizet and Copland.

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Ever the Politician
One prominent contemporary called him 'the operator'. Telemann was nothing short of brilliant when it came to negotiating the tricky path between the diverse expectations of his influential patrons. But, as Donald Macleod discovers, all was not quite as rosy in his personal life as the composer's wife scandalises the whole of Hamburg with her gambling debts and an affair with a prominent military man.

Shostakovich on Strings
Brodsky Quartet and Plowright
Fresh from finishing their marathon project to record all Shostakovich's string quartets, the Brodsky Quartet along with pianist Jonathan Plowright make a welcome return to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for this performance.
Shostakovich's Quartet No. 11 is closely connected to the grief and loss of a good friend and violinist, Vasili Pyotrovich Shirinsky, who was the second violin in the Beethoven String Quartet. He chose F minor, which is a common key in the baroque era for representing death, and the heart of the quartet is its 6th movement, an Elegy on the loss of his friend, followed by a certain calm acceptance in the Finale.
The intense, lyrical and playful Piano Quintet is one of Shostakovich's most popular and best known chamber works. It was received with such wild enthusiasm at its premiere that it was awarded the prestigious Stalin prize - a sure sign that he had regained Stalin's approval since his political denunciation by the Communist Party. It divides into three parts; the prelude and fugue, a homage in part to JS Bach, one of his musical heroes; a central and joyful Scherzo in brilliant Mendelssohnian style and the highly melodic Intermezzo and Finale.
