With Donald Macleod. In his final years Hummel wrote a series of piano studies and a piano method which encapsulated his experience and skill as a pianist and teacher- his pupils include some of the great names of the early 19th century - but not Liszt, since Hummel demanded too high a fee. When he died, Hummel's estate was valued at an enormous L20,000 - a measure of his phenomenal success. Piano Quintet, Op 87William Howard, Schubert Ensemble of London

How did a drab city, once described as "the colour of a dog running away", become the peacock of postmodern designer-led chic? Paul Allen and guests investigate the roots of Barcelona's cultural, artistic and architectural rebirth, taking in not only the more familiar figures of Gaudi and Miro but also those local heroes unknown abroad.

Verity Sharp reports on the new music scene in Barcelona, talks to local composers, previews new multimedia show Sonic Damage by Orquestra del Caos and introduces highlights from a recent performance of new Spanish music by the ensemble Barcelona 216.
