The ongoing series of monthly documentaries surveying the diversity of 20th-century music. During the 20th century, the teaching of music in the classroom has been reinvented many times. While learning the violin remains as difficult as it has always been, Samuel West discovers how we have moved on from a late Victorian idea of music - which saw singing as patriotic pulmonary exercise - to a newer age which has allowed self-expression free rein and has embraced a much wider range of musical styles and idioms. He also discovers how other countries have done likewise or followed a different star. Written by Graham Fawcett Producer Nigel Wilkinson

By Bernard-Marie Koltes , translated by Jeffrey Wainwright. Two men, the Dealer and the Client, meet at night in an empty industrial space to do business. It is a duel cast as a deal, conducted in an intense, highly wrought dialogue with a sense of incipient violence looming throughout: mesmeric, rhythmical and extraordinary.
Music composed and performed by Gary Yershon. Director Melanie Harris
