A new podcast called Words on Wordlessness goes live today. Host Nicky Swett, who has spent years studying Hans Keller’s wordless method of analysing music, presents a fascinating exploration of the idea of communicating about music through music alone.

Each series presents one of Keller’s analytical scores in performance, after which Nicky discusses it with musicians, scholars and scientists.

The first series presents Keller’s analysis of Haydn’s Quartet in D minor Op.76 No.2, performed by the Castalian String Quartet, and discussed by violinist Sini Simonen, musicologist Kate Guthrie and composer and broadcaster Bruce Adolphe.
