SAT SAT Pianist Stephen Hough, composer Huw Watkins and critic Bryce SAT Morrison join in with their insights into how the physiology SAT of great composers' hands had an impact on the music that SAT they wrote and the various challenges performers face as a SAT result. SAT SAT Includes music by Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, SAT Rachmaninov and Ligeti. SAT SAT Interesting Facts from the programme: SAT Beethoven's hands were heavy and muscular. SAT Weber had astonishingly long thumbs. SAT The extreme length of Rachmaninov's fingers has led some SAT experts to postulate that he had Marfan's syndrome, a SAT genetic condition. SAT Chopin's hands were so elastic and flexible that when he SAT extended them they prompted one of his pupils to remark that SAT they resembled "the opening mouth of a serpent, about to SAT swallow a rabbit whole." SAT Schumann permanently damaged his right hand in attempting to SAT build the strength and independence of his fingers on a SAT mechanical device. This ended his virtuoso piano career but SAT fortuitously led to him spending more time composing. SAT SAT Music: Music includes great pianist-composers, Beethoven, SAT Chopin, Liszt and Rachmaninov, works by tragically SAT frustrated pianists Schumann and Scriabin through Schoenberg SAT and Stravinsky to finish with the ultimate challenge for SAT contemporary pianists, the phenomenally difficult etudes of SAT non-pianist György Ligeti.

SAT SAT Widely sought after on the international opera stage, Alice SAT Coote makes the first of three appearances in this year's SAT Proms season to launch the Proms Chamber Music series. At SAT the heart of each song is the marriage of melody and French SAT poetry and this programme takes us on a voyage through SAT French 'mélodie' from its early blossoming in the middle of SAT the 19th Century with music by Gounod and Saint-Saëns, SAT through its full bloom in the radiant Belle Époque gems of SAT Faure and Hahn through to its late flowering in the works of SAT Poulenc. SAT SAT Poulenc: Voyage à Paris. SAT Fauré: Poeme d'un jour; En sourdine; Au bord de l'eau; SAT Les roses d'Ispahan; Le secret; Notre amour. SAT Gounod: Au printemps. SAT Saint-Saëns: Aimons-nous.

In doing so he revives the SAT informal spirit of Bach's Leipzig coffee house concerts, in SAT which the composer would direct his own band of musicians. SAT SAT Based on a single melody and consisting of 14 Fugues and 4 SAT Canons, Bach explores the possibilities of what can be SAT written by weaving the line of the melody against and around SAT itself. Bach himself didn't stipulate the instrument (or SAT instruments) for which he envisaged the work - the original SAT manuscript is written in four voices on four separate lines SAT and though Esfahani feels sure the work was undoubtedly SAT written for a keyboard instrument, he says "it doesn't mean SAT we can't explore another side of the music".

SAT Readers Samantha Bond and Simon Chandler play a host of SAT historical kings and queens, from Shakespeare's Henry V and SAT IV to Schiller's Queen Elizabeth I and Lewis Carroll's Queen SAT of Hearts. SAT SAT Royal coronations with their pomp and visual grandeur have SAT inspired some of the greatest music ever written. Handel's SAT Zadok the Priest and Walton's Crown Imperial provided the SAT soundtracks to the coronations of George II and VI SAT respectively; and we hear Samuel Pepys relate the incredible SAT sight of '24 violins' at the coronation of Charles II in SAT 1661. SAT SAT The predicament of kingship was one of Shakespeare's most SAT enduring fascinations, his Henry IV and V soliloquize in SAT some of his greatest verse on the isolation of the ruler's SAT plight, an isolation that may have been understood only too SAT well by Shakespeare's great patron: Elizabeth I.

SAT Founded in 1999 with the aim of bringing together Arab and SAT Israeli players, WEDO has gone far beyond the symbolic in SAT its goal of building bridges through music, to become one of SAT the world's most dynamic orchestras. Tonight, the Third and SAT Fourth symphonies, alongside Pierre Boulez's playful work of SAT 1984. SAT SAT Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 in B flat major SAT Pierre Boulez: Dialogue de I'ombre double SAT SAT 20:35 Twenty Minutes b01l0drs (Listen) SAT Goethe and the West-Eastern Divan, Episode 1 SAT SAT To complement the series of Beethoven concerts by the SAT West-Eastern Divan orchestra, Paul Farley explores Goethe's SAT poetic sequence, The West-Eastern Divan, from which Daniel SAT Barenboim's orchestra takes its name. SAT SAT In his later years, the German poet Johann Wolfgang von SAT Goethe was new-fired by his reading of eastern poetry - SAT particularly the work of the Persian poet Hafiz. Goethe's SAT life-affirming and sensual poetic cycle, The West-Eastern SAT Divan (1814-18) is essentially a love poem to Hafiz. SAT SAT In the first of two linked features, Paul Farley explores SAT Goethe's fascination with Arabic literature, and his SAT admiration for Hafiz, whom he admired as both a hedonist and SAT an enemy of dogmatic orthodoxy. The Divan is also, more SAT poignantly, a way of mapping Goethe's own love affair with a SAT young married woman, Marianne von Willemer - the real SAT subject of the many sensual 'Suleika' poems. SAT SAT Paul examines Goethe's role as a champion of eastern SAT literature in the west and talks to poets and historians SAT about the lasting legacy of the ideas that inform The SAT West-Eastern Divan.

SAT SAT 22:00 Between the Ears b011txy8 (Listen) SAT On the Rubble of My Home I Played My Flute SAT SAT Guo Yue is a master of the Chinese bamboo flute. His father SAT was an ehru (Chinese violin) player and from birth he was SAT immersed in the rich soundscape of a musician's compound in SAT old Beijing; neighbours practising traditional music; SAT Beijing opera; as well the music the sounds of the hutong, SAT the courtyards and alleys of old Beijing - songbirds in SAT cages, street cries, chopping vegetables and cooking. SAT SAT Yue was eight when the Cultural Revolution began. Red guards SAT almost killed his mother and took her away. Yue and his SAT 12-year-old brother Yi were left alone. He spent his time - SAT hoping to make his mother proud on her return - sitting in SAT the compound practising his bamboo flute. Yue saw terrible SAT things, yet remembers the revolutionary songs with affection SAT - and still sings them. The brothers, and their sister were SAT involved in a performance in Tiananmen Square in front of SAT Mao himself. SAT SAT Sent out of Beijing with the military, Yue managed to avoid SAT regular army duties by leading the marching on his flute. At SAT 16 he won a place as flautist in an army orchestra and SAT travelled the country playing for the soldiers. SAT SAT In his early twenties, Yue left China to study at the SAT Guildhall in London. He performs across the world and can SAT now return to Beijing. His hutong is still there but on a SAT recent visit he found that his house had been knocked down. SAT So he stood on the rubble and played his flute. SAT SAT In this Between the Ears, memories, music and sounds work in SAT several ways simultaneously. Street noises and chopping SAT prompt Yue's memories - and these prompt him to play his SAT flutes. New performances as well as the sounds of Chinese SAT life, Cultural Revolution songs,recordings of rallies and SAT parades and Guo Yue's reminiscences cohere to create a SAT memoir of his life.

There were on the 'wrong' side in the war that SUN bears their name, but nonetheless when the first Roman SUN Emperor sought a cultural and ethnic ancestry for his SUN parvenu rule, Virgil produced it for him - with the Trojans SUN - in the Aeneid. Even the winning Greeks acknowledge SUN Hector's heroism; he is clearly valiant and noble in Homer's SUN depiction in the Iliad. And in 'Trojan Women' Euripides SUN creates one of world's greatest anti-war plays. SUN SUN Then, in the 16th century, the myth that English royalty was SUN descended from the Trojan Brutus was conjured up as a way of SUN giving legitimacy to another parvenu empire. Today an heroic SUN race gives its name to a computer virus and is identified by SUN trick played on it by Odysseus. But think of all the tragic SUN heroes and heroines the Trojan side of those epics spawned: SUN Troilus and Cressida (Chaucer and Shakespeare), Andromache SUN (Racine), Dido (Purcell), Priam (Tippett) to say nothing of SUN the man who gave Berlioz his first name. And there are the SUN dodgier characters: Paris, Pandarus. SUN SUN Paul Allen, with classicists Oliver Taplin (Greek), Llewelyn SUN Morgan (Latin) and Shakespeare expert Carol Rutter, looks to SUN all these in a cultural biography and restitution of the SUN 'topless towers of Ilium.' SUN SUN Producer: Julian May.

When Beethoven moved to MON Vienna in 1792, for the first few years he was seen to be MON more of a pianist than a composer. This viewpoint changed, MON but the piano would always be a significant instrument for MON Beethoven, who went on to compose not only piano sonatas MON amongst his prodigious output, but also a number of piano MON concertos, and other works for the instrument. Donald MON Macleod focuses on five of the piano sonatas, including the MON Pastoral and the Appassionata, and takes a look at MON Beethoven's life during these periods, including the other MON works he composed at the time. MON MON By 1792, Beethoven felt he needed to move on from the MON musical opportunities offered by his native city of Bonn. MON Wanting to stretch his wings and pursue his career as a MON composer, he turned his attention to the capital of the MON Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna. Beethoven didn't launch MON himself straight into the Viennese public eye as a composer, MON but instead made his initial impression there as a pianist, MON performing one of his early concertos. MON MON Life in Vienna was hard to begin with, with Beethoven MON relying on financial support from the Elector in Bonn. This MON eventually dried up and Beethoven was fortunate that Prince MON Lichnowsky came to his aid, allowing the composer to move MON into the Prince's house, and introducing him to the leading MON musicians in Vienna. Although Beethoven often found his MON relationship with the Prince stifling, he dedicated a set of MON three Piano Trios to him, including the Piano Trio No.1 in E MON flat. MON MON Beethoven had now launched himself into publication. This MON was a carefully timed event, so that not only was the MON Viennese public treated to his opus 1 Piano Trios, and opus MON 3 String Trios, but also his set of three Piano Sonatas opus MON 2, including the Sonata no.1 in F minor. The press declared MON that with the publication of these three sonatas, Beethoven MON was now assured a place in "the Holy of Holies of Art".

MON MON Beethoven's Symphonies No 6 in F major 'Pastoral' and No. 5 MON in C minor both broke new ground and have exerted influence MON on musical greats from Brahms to Berlioz. In his 'Pastoral' MON Symphony Beethoven evokes the Austrian countryside.

MON MON From his youth, the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe MON was fascinated by the ideas and culture of Islam and the MON Arabic-speaking world. His encounter in later life with the MON poems of medieval Persian poet Hafiz inspired his own MON tribute to eastern poetry: 'The West-Eastern Divan'. MON MON In tonight's programme, Paul learns how Goethe's original MON 'West-Eastern Divan' poems were fuelled by a passionate love MON affair with a young married woman, Marianne von Willemer. MON MON Paul examines Goethe's engagement with the ideas and imagery MON of Persian literature, and talks to contemporary German MON poets and writers about the continuing legacy of his MON 'West-Eastern Divan' poetry cycle.

MON MON 22:00 The Lebrecht Interview b01l0ly9 (Listen) MON Menahem Pressler MON MON Norman Lebrecht meets pianist Menahem Pressler, founder of MON one of the most prolific and influential piano trios of all MON time: The Beaux Arts. MON MON Pressler looks back on a career which began in Nazi Germany, MON before he emigrated to Israel in 1939 and went on to win The MON Debussy Piano Competition in 1946. He recalls the teachers MON who helped him as a young pianist, including a German who MON defied the Nazi regime in continuing to teach him after it MON became illegal to do so, and his lessons with celebrated MON pianists Egon Petri and Leo Kestenberg. MON MON Pressler remembers how he formed The Beaux Arts Trio with MON violinist Daniel Guilet and cellist Bernard Greenhouse MON almost by accident while living in New York, before making MON their debut at Boston's Tanglewood concert hall in 1955. He MON reflects on the trio's changing personnel, which has seen MON Pressler as the one constant member while five violinists MON and two cellists have come and gone. Still performing now at MON the age of eighty eight and a renowned teacher and mentor to MON top chamber musicians like the Emerson and Ebène String MON Quartets - Menhem Pressler reflects on what makes a great MON chamber group and how music has sustained him throughout a MON long and distinguished career. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b010gn4y (Listen) MON The Essay: The Father Instinct, Lou Stein MON MON Writer/director Lou Stein sets out on a quest to understand MON the connections between fatherhood and creativity. He draws MON on Greek father-archetypes to gain insight and understanding MON into today's shifting fatherly landscape. MON MON "If, in my own life so far, I have a bit of the wanderlust MON of Odysseus, and the rebellious nature of the father-hungry MON Achilles, it is Hector's ideals which I most aspire to." MON MON There is little doubt that the act of consciously choosing MON to become a father (as opposed to fathering a child) is a MON critical choice for any man. But artists who choose to take MON on the responsibilities of fatherhood have their creative MON inventions enhanced and challenged in a very specific way. MON Does the fact of taking on the challenges of fatherhood in MON the 21st century diminish their creative output in some way MON by dividing the creativity needed to be a father and needed MON to be an artist? Or does having a child nourish and advance MON the artist's creative march forward in an ever-changing MON world, where the rules of engagement are accelerated in a MON consumer-lead, technologically driven context. MON MON In the first essay of the series, Lou Stein looks at the MON historical notions of fatherhood in Western culture, and in MON particular the shifting expectations of what it means to be MON a father. Drawing on a number of Greek archetypes of MON fatherhood, he offers a view of the ancient and contemporary MON expectations of the father which can help us understand the MON fatherly landscape we live in today.

TUE TUE Beethoven was now quite successful by 1801, supported by a TUE most generous patron Prince Lichnowsky, who had previously TUE been an important patron of Mozart's. Commissions meant that TUE Beethoven was now being taken seriously as a composer, and TUE one such commission was for the stage. This provided TUE Beethoven with the opportunity of writing ballet music for TUE The Creatures of Prometheus, which proved so popular it was TUE performed many times that year. TUE TUE Beethoven was not above criticism though, and was aware that TUE he still needed to develop his compositional skills and TUE technique. This included having lessons from the major TUE Viennese composer Antonio Salieri, who set the younger TUE composer exercises in writing for voice. A number of these TUE unaccompanied partsongs survive, including Nei campi e nelle TUE selve, WoO 99. TUE TUE At this time however, there were increasing signs that TUE Beethoven was suffering from hearing difficulties. His TUE friends noticed that Beethoven would often have cotton wool TUE soaked in almond oil protruding from his ears. This, TUE combined with other periods of illness, could have been one TUE reason for Beethoven turning to religious songs, including TUE composing The Glory of God in Nature opus 48. TUE TUE 1801 was also a time for composing further piano sonatas, TUE numbers twelve to fifteen. One of Beethoven's favourite TUE piano sonatas would be written during this period: the Piano TUE Sonata No.15 in D major, otherwise known as the "Pastoral".

TUE TUE The Civil War destroyed much of the South, claimed one in TUE five of all men of fighting age, ended slavery and saw the TUE North confirmed as the defining force in American life. Yet TUE in the decades that followed it seemed to many that the TUE South had somehow won the peace, found honour rather than TUE shame in the treachery of secession and the ruins of TUE terrible defeat- creating a new world for itself centred TUE around the myth of the Lost Cause. Many would even declare TUE that the issue of slavery was not the root cause of the TUE South's desire to leave the Union in their defence of TUE States' Rights. TUE TUE Contemporary historians see a very different picture amidst TUE the carnage of a war that claimed more lives in one battle TUE (Gettysburg) than in all previous wars. A war whose casualty TUE rate would be the equivalent of six million American lives TUE today. With the help of leading historians including David TUE Blight, Liz Varon, James McPherson, Eric Fone and Gary TUE Gallagher, Dr Adam Smith reveals the minds and worlds of the TUE South as it set its path towards secession and disunity and TUE in doing so reaped a terrible price. It's a story of TUE contradictions, ironies and stark human drama that leads TUE Smith to Richmond, Virginia capital of the Confederate TUE States of America following secession from the Union in TUE 1861. TUE TUE Expert in American history Dr Adam Smith explores the TUE heartland of post war South and the shifting fault lines of TUE memory. TUE TUE Producer: Mark Burman.

WED WED The music of Beethoven between 1804-5, was now travelling WED abroad, including ten performances of major works in WED England. This was a period when Beethoven would turn his WED attention to writing an opera, Fidelio, but this process was WED protracted, with long breaks to focus upon other works. One WED work which he turned to during this period, was the Triple WED Concerto in C major opus 56. WED WED A complicated love life would also impact upon Beethoven's WED time, including his relationship with Countess Josephine WED Deym. Although both parties cared for each other greatly, WED this relationship could never lead to marriage, as it would WED mean that the Countess would have to give up her title, and WED possibly lose her guardianship of her children. One song WED Beethoven dedicated to the Countess Josephine, is addressed WED to Hope, An die Hoffnung opus 32. WED WED During this same period, Beethoven continued his exploration WED of piano sonatas, including one possibly conceived during a WED countryside walk. Beethoven and his pupil Ries were walking WED in some woods, when Ries noticed his tutor humming a number WED of passages. On returning home Beethoven raged on the keys WED of his keyboard, developing the finale of this new sonata, WED known today as the 'Appassionata', opus 57.

WED WED As the Maestro's visit grows closer, memos, telegrams and WED letters begin to fly, exposing a range of preoccupations WED among the Corporation's top brass. Will Toscanini be tempted WED away from the BBC to American rivals, the NBC? Why won't the WED temperamental Maestro meet the King and Queen? And, most WED curiously, what sort of party would Toscanini be willing to WED attend? Among the BBC staff expending their efforts on these WED important questions are Director General Sir John Reith and WED his Director of Music, Dr Adrian Boult.

His paintings reflect WED on the the dire poverty and hopelessness which can flourish WED in third world countries in conflict. Although the nature of WED his interests means that he is constantly travelling to WED politically explosive parts of the world, fatherhood has WED helped him maintain an emotional balance in his life. WED WED "It was not until my daughter was eleven and my son six that WED an idea emerged for a painting that blended with the theme WED of my work at that time, and flowed naturally into the WED series that I was putting together for an exhibition WED entitled Intelligent Design. I had become fascinated with WED the images of the outer reaches of the universe transmitted WED to us from the orbiting Hubble telescope. The sheer wonder WED of the vastness of what is out there defies comprehension WED but inspires awe. And what we see there is what we are. WED Stardust. Coalesced somehow into an intelligent life form, WED and circumscribed by love and cruelty. Against this I had WED also a photograph of my two children, holding hands, WED standing on a Suffolk beach in front of the ocean and gazing WED out to the horizon, their backs toward me. The idea occurred WED to me of substituting the object of their gaze, the chilly WED greys of the North Sea, for the rich hues of outer space, WED and this charged the image with a resonance invoking both WED the micro- and macrocosmic, but more than anything else it WED just reminded me of that old logo from my own childhood of WED Start-rite shoes - and this resonance was perfect."

THU THU The year 1814 was a significant time in European history, as THU the previous year the Duke of Wellington had won a decisive THU victory over Napoleon, and now the monarchs and statesmen of THU many countries all descended upon Vienna, re-drawing the map THU of Europe in the wake of the battle of Waterloo. Many THU composers at this time would compose patriotic works, and THU Beethoven was no exception, including his Wellington's THU Victory opus 91. THU THU Wellington's Victory became an overnight success, and was THU performed many times in 1814, increasing Beethoven's profile THU with the general public of Vienna. Riding this wave of THU popularity, Beethoven didn't stop there, but went on to THU compose a number of other politically charged works, THU including a celebratory cantata, The Glorious Moment opus THU 136. Beethoven even wrote a one-off Polonaise opus 89, for THU the Russian Empress, who was one of the many monarchs in THU town. Empress Elisabeth Alexyevna was so pleased with the THU work, that she awarded Beethoven a gift of 50 ducats. THU THU 1814 did see the end of a five year gap, where Beethoven had THU composed nothing for the piano previously. It was a new THU Piano Sonata, opus 90, which he dedicated to Count Moritz THU von Lichnowsky, who'd been very active on Beethoven's part, THU in securing the composer a financial reward from the British THU contingent at the Congress of Vienna, for his Wellington's THU Victory.

Around the same time, Ravel THU turned his attention to depicting a boat setting sail, THU fighting with wind and ocean's current. Originally one of THU his piano pieces, he later scored "Une barque sur l'ocean" THU with great precision for full orchestral colour.

FRI FRI 1820-2 was a period when Beethoven was consumed with FRI composing, what he thought was his greatest work to date, FRI the Missa Solemnis opus 123. This huge choral undertaking FRI was like his opera, worked on over a long period, with FRI breaks for the composer to focus upon other works. During FRI this period, Beethoven returned to re-editing some Scottish FRI folksongs for publication, including 'Music, Love and Wine', FRI and 'Sally in our Alley'. FRI FRI By this time however, Beethoven was often seen walking the FRI streets of Vienna, ranting to himself, or singing at the top FRI of his voice. He looked dishevelled, and boys would openly FRI mock him in the street, although he couldn't hear them. FRI Rossini and Weber both visited Beethoven, and was saddened FRI to see the poor state they found him in. Rossini even tried FRI to get the Austrian Court to step in and assist Beethoven FRI financially, but this appeal was turned down, as Beethoven FRI was considered a hopeless case, mentally unbalanced. FRI FRI It was during this same period where Beethoven was seen FRI walking the streets like a vagrant, and even arrested by the FRI Police for peering into windows, that he interrupted his FRI work on the Missa Solemnis to complete his final three piano FRI sonatas. These piano works, including the Piano Sonata no.30 FRI opus 109, pushed the boundaries of traditional sonata form, FRI with none of the movements being what you'd expect.

FRI FRI Chopin: Impromptu in G flat, Op 51 FRI Johansen: Pictures from Nordland, Op 5 FRI Haydn: Sonata in E minor, H.16.34 FRI Schumann: Waldszenen, Op 82 FRI FRI Christian Ihle Hadland (piano) FRI FRI 22:00 Sunday Feature b010nrnp (Listen) FRI The American Civil War, Blockade Runners and Black Minstrels FRI FRI When the American civil war loomed, black anti-slavery FRI activists were horrified by their reception in Britain, and FRI they blamed it on the music hall. FRI FRI "that pestiferous nuisance Ethiopian minstrels have FRI introduced the slang phrases, the contemptuous sneers, all FRI originating in the spirit of slavery" FRI FRI This mattered a great deal as the hearts and minds of the FRI British were a potential key to the agrarian South's FRI victory. The Confederates soon needed guns and ammunition FRI made in British factories, and it all needed to go through a FRI Union naval blockade. They also wanted to bring Britain and FRI France into the war to aid their cause. In the event John FRI Bull declared and stuck to neutrality - but with willing FRI stooges in the factories and shipyards - that could be FRI stretched a long way. FRI FRI Blockade running and spy-wars took root on British soil - FRI fortunes were made. Ship building on the Clyde and Mersey FRI doubled to aid the South and profits soared. Meanwhile, a FRI new generation of anti-slavery activists cut their teeth in FRI this struggle: many of them women who went on to become FRI important early suffragists. FRI FRI According to the victorious North, if Britain had stopped FRI the blockade running, the South would have crumbled after FRI Gettysburg. They took Britain to international arbitration FRI for damages of millions of pounds. At one point the USA FRI suggested being given Canada in compensation. Eventually FRI Britain paid out on a narrower claim but the sum involved FRI was still huge. FRI FRI Glasgow-based writer, Louise Welsh follows the story FRI through the case study of the Clyde, showing how the FRI multi-million dollar campaign to arm the South went hand in FRI hand with growing racism. She explores the culture of the FRI music hall, and look at how abolitionists hit back in FRI practical ways against the arms trade. FRI FRI 22:45 The Essay b010gnnq (Listen) FRI The Essay: The Father Instinct, Abdulrazak Gurnah FRI FRI Lou Stein's investigation into the connections between FRI fatherhood and creativity continues with Booker nominated FRI author Abdulrazak Gurnah's emotional return to Zanzibar to FRI see his elderly father. By making contact with him and his FRI native land after a long period of absence, he was able to FRI clearly focus his memories and his father's stories. He FRI shared them with his daughters and then the world with the FRI publication of his award-winning book "Paradise". FRI FRI "My father was a pious man, but his piety was not FRI oppressive. He did not harangue or lecture people, or engage FRI in any ostentatious acts of observance. When he was younger, FRI he was one of the handful of people who went to the mosque FRI for the dawn prayers, and went to the mosque for all the FRI other prayers in the day when he wasn't at work. Even when FRI he was so unwell, he went to the mosque for at least three FRI of the day's prayers. During the month of Ramadhan he read FRI the Koran from beginning to end, reading for two hours in FRI the afternoon every day instead of taking his usual siesta, FRI pacing himself so that he could complete the reading before FRI the month was out. So it was no surprise that one of the FRI first things that my father should say to me after a 17-year FRI absence was, go to the mosque and say your prayers, for FRI while he did not harangue people about praying, he did not FRI see why he should not harangue his own son."
