Bach and the Voice. Bach's vocal writing has the reputation for being unforgiving. Singers complain that he treats the voice too much like an instrument, expecting them to negotiate difficult intervals and long lines of semiquavers more suited to the violin orthe keyboard. Over the last 40 years choirs have become smaller in response to the researches of the early music movement, but did Bach expect his cantatas and Passions to be sung "one to a part"? Ivan Hewett looks out some examples of idiomatic and unidiomatic vocal writing in Bach's music, and asks, when it comes to choirs, does size matter?

A journey through the literatures of Europe. 7: Austria. Julian Evans continues the monthly series exploring the connections between European novel writers and the art of story-telling. This month he looks at the cultural milieu of inter-war Austria and the work of the self-confessed vivisectionist of modern culture, Robert Musil. Writing between the defeat of Austria in the First World War and the descent into fascism, Musil's sprawling masterpiece A Man without Qualities anticipated, in style and content, many of the dilemmas of the 20th century. From a concentration camp on the Yugoslavian border, via Freud's study and the coffee houses of Vienna, Julian Evans , with the help of contemporary Austrian authors, goes in search of the past and the future of the Austrian novel.
