The second of a series of programmes in which conductor Leonard Slatkin explores ways of listening with fresh ears to the basic elements of music. Leonard and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic explore melody. They rewrite a Tchaikovsky melody to prove that composers really do know best, Leonard outlines scale systems used by Debussy and Webern, and they end the programme by working out how Brahms used one of his greatest melodies in the last movement of his Symphony no 1.
