I recently did an interview with Andrew Ford of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s ‘The Music Show’. We talked mainly about my book ‘Sleeping in Temples’, but strayed onto other topics such as why it is that, in the last movement of Beethoven’s E major piano sonata opus 109, it’s so touching when the theme comes back at the end of the variations.

The interview will be broadcast on Sunday 21st June at 11am Australian time – I’ve given up trying to understand what time you’d need to listen to it ‘live’ if you’re in the UK, but you can listen to the interview here on the show’s website. You can also download the interview.
