How can a motif come to convey an entire narrative? What aspects of themselves do composers encode into their works? Three works from different eras illustrate three aspects of the motif and its power to mould the form of a musical work.

Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1st string quartet is include in the programme as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great Composer.
