In Renaissance Italy, keyboard instruments were sometimes provided with extra keys. Black keys were split into front and back halves, giving major and minor semitones, in order to distinguish between sharps and flats. On a harpsichord equipped with this device,
Christopher Stembridge plays pieces by Frescobaldi and by Neapolitan composers, including Gesualdo,
Mayone and Trabacl.

On 11 September 1973, General Pinochet launched his coup in Chile.
By the evening President Salvador Allende was dead, and 12 days later so was his great friend the poet Pablo Neruda.
This programme discusses the relationship between the two men, and considers the impact of the coup on "Chile's abrupt and endless territory". With Alan Angell, Maria Eugenia Bravo and Robert Pring-Mill, readings from Neruda's memoirs by Bob Peck, and scenes from Ronald Bowden's play After Neruda, performed by Colin Pinney, Michael Onslow, Vivienne Rochester, Jillie Meers, Gareth Armstrong and Barry J. Gordon.
Two composers with three works for four strings.
Elliott Carter 's rigorously constructed String
Quartets Nos 3 and 4, played by the Arditti
Quartet, are heard either side of Michael Torke 's
