Four films which concentrate on a few hours of intense activity.

Who will buy the Lady Blunt?
This is the name of a Stradivarius violin made in 1721, sold to Lady Blunt in 1864 for £260, and auctioned at Sotheby's on 3 June 1971. Interested people inspected it, famous musicians played it, and the dealers bid for it. Who would eventually possess one of the finest violins ever to come up for sale remained a mystery.

A personal view by Kenneth Clark

'The rococo style has a place in civilisation. Serious-minded people may call it shallow and corrupt; well, the founders of the American constitution, who were far from frivolous, thought fit to mention the pursuit of happiness as a proper aim for mankind, and if ever this aim has been given visible form it is in rococo architecture - the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of love.'
In this programme Kenneth Clark reflects on the nature of 18th-century music, the music of Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mozart, and on the way that some of its qualities - the melodious flow, the complex symmetry - are reflected in the best of the rococo architecture - the pilgrimage churches and palaces of Bavaria.
