Haydn dedicated most of his published works to titled and influential patrons. Beethoven followed his example, despite his forward-looking ideals, but Mozart was largely uninterested in currying favour. In the first of two programmes, Penny Gore investigates the niceties of musical patronage, including:
Haydn String Quartet in G, Op 76 No I Prazak Quartet
Beethoven Variations on a Theme of Count Waldstein Anthony Goldstone and Caroline Clemmow (piano duet) Producer Nigel Wilkinson. Rprd tomorrow 4pm
