Melody
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 麻豆社 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 the programme ends with an exploration of Brahms' melody in the last movement of his Symphony no 1.
