Beethoven by the Byte

Beethoven's symphonies were downloaded nearly 1.4 million times when they were made available as free MP3 files on the BBC's Radio 3 website recently. Today, we look at the implications of this experiment - and why some in the music industry are worrying - with Radio 3 controller Roger Wright. Also: Jazz vibraphonist and composer Stefon Harris started out as a classical musician, taking up the piano at age six and learning more than a dozen instruments in the following years. He joins us today to share his latest projects. Finally, if you thought road trips were a modern-day invention, you might look back to Mozart. The Salzburg, Austria spent time in Paris, Prague, London, and Italy. Joining us to look at the influence of travel on Mozart's music is Louis Langree, music director of the Mostly Mozart Festival, which starts its 39th season tomorrow night around the theme of Mozart's travels.
