Heat 6, 2019

CounterpointSeries 33
Episode 6 of 13

Contestants face questions on music of all genres and eras, in the wide-ranging quiz chaired by Paul Gambaccini

(6/13)
Who wrote the libretto for Mozart's The Magic Flute? And who wrote the lyrics for Fats Waller's songs Ain't Misbehavin' and Honeysuckle Rose?

If our competitors today know the answers to these questions they'll be off to a good start in the latest contest to find the musical mastermind of 2019. Today's sixth heat comes from the Radio Theatre in central London, and a place in the semi-finals awaits the winner. Paul Gambaccini asks the questions, and they include specialist questions on a musical topic which the contenders will have to choose on the spot, with no prior warning and no chance to bone up.

Taking part today are
Paul Holmes, a design consultancy director from Exeter
Roseanne Jardine, a teacher from Lyme Regis in Dorset
Stephen Smith, a clinical psychologist from Eastleigh in Hampshire.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
