Frances Fyfield tracks down the stories behind the scores of well-known pieces of music.

Frances visits Berlin with conductor Jane Glover and Welsh soprano Rebecca Evans for a rare look at Mozart's autograph score of his magnificent comic opera at the Staatsbibliothek. They have a unique opportunity to explore most of it, but curiously not all, at first hand.
