Sarah Walker introduces part of a concert given at last year's Vilabertran Festival by rising star Catalan pianist Eudald Buch.

Bach's G major French Suite is one of six the composer wrote in what musicians of the time described as "the French style" - in common with much of this week's music, the nickname was more to do with convenience and marketing than anything the composer wished to say about them. Buch contrasts this with Schubert's great C minor piano sonata, one of the trilogy the composer wrote at the end of his life to form one of the great pinnacles of the instrument's repertoire.
